Terrific Tuesday, August 28Wonderful Wednesday, August 29Warm up: Create a separate index card for each of the following terms: (1) production possibilities curve/frontier (include definition, assumptions and sample graph); (2) factors of production; (3) normative and positive statements.● Learning target: I can describe what factors can cause

economic growth as reflected in an outward shift of a PPC. I can explain the benefits of specialization and gains from trade.

Let’s take a little quizzie poo . . .

PPC PracticeDraw a PPC showing changes for each of the following:

Pizza and Computers (3) 1. New computer making technology

2. Decrease in the demand for pizza 3. Mad cow disease kills 85% of cows

Consumer goods and Capital Goods (4) 4. Destruction of power plants leads to severe electricity

shortage 5. Faster computer hardware 6. Many workers unemployed 7. Significant increases in education

Specialization and TradeWhy do people trade?


Why do people trade?1. Assume people didn’t trade. What things would you have to go

without? ○ Everything you don’t produce yourself!○ (Clothes, car, cell phone, bananas, healthcare, etc.)The Point: Everyone specializes in the production of goods and services and trades with others.

2. What would life be like if people in cities couldn’t trade with people in other cities or people in states couldn’t trade with people in other states?○ Limiting trade would reduce people’s choices and make people

worse off. The Point: More access to trade means more choices and a higher standard of living. 12Copyright

What could you live without??If we did not import these goods, what would happen?

Specialization ActivityRound 1: Draw as many houses as you can with your right hand in 40 seconds.Round 2: Draw as many cars as you can with your left hand in 40 seconds.

What is your opportunity cost for each house? What is your opportunity cost for each car?

How might right-handed students and left-handed students specialize and trade?


Absolute and Comparative Advantage


Per Unit Opportunity Cost ReviewAssume it costs you $50 to produce 5 t-shirts. What is your PER UNIT

cost for each shirt? $10 per shirt

Now, take money out of the equation. Instead of producing 5 shirts you could have made 10 hats.

1. What is your PER UNIT OPPORTUNITY COST for each shirt in terms of hats given up?

1 shirt costs 2 hats 2. What is your PER UNIT OPPORTUNITY COST for each hat in

terms of shirts given up? 1 hat costs 1/2 shirt

16

= Opportunity CostUnits Gained

Per Unit Opportunity Cost


Per Unit Opportunity Cost ReviewRonald McDonald can produce 20 pizzas or 200 burgers Little Caesar can

produce 100 pizzas or 200 burgers. In practice set.1. What is Ronald’s opportunity cost for one pizza in terms of burgers given

up?2. What is Ronald’s opportunity cost for one burger in terms of pizza given

up?3. What is Caesar’s opportunity cost for one pizza in terms of burgers given

up?4. What is Caesar’s opportunity cost for one burger in terms of pizza given

up?

17

Ronald has a COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE in the production of burgers.Caesar has a COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE in the production of pizza.

1 pizza cost 10 burgers

1 burger costs 1/10 pizza

1 pizza costs 2 burgers

1 burger costs 1/2 pizza


Absolute and Comparative AdvantageAbsolute Advantage

•The producer that can produce the most output OR requires the least amount of inputs (resources).

•Ex: Caesar has an absolute advantage in pizzas because he can produce 100 and Ronald can only make 20.

Comparative Advantage•The producer with the lowest opportunity cost.•Ex: Ronald has a comparative advantage in burgers because he has a lowest PER UNIT opportunity cost.

Thorough Thursday, August 30Freelance Friday, August 31● Talk with your neighbor about the following; write down what

you are unsure of.● Explain how you would use the concept of opportunity cost in

everyday life. ● Differentiate between increasing and constant opportunity cost PPCs.● Explain why the Law of Increasing Opportunity Cost occurs. ● Explain how you calculate PER UNIT opportunity cost.● Explain difference btw productive and allocative efficiency the PPC.● Identify the 3 Shifters of the PPC.● Give 2 SPECIFIC scenarios that would shift a PPC outward (Use

Pizza and Robots).● List 10 types of Soda.

Thorough Thursday, August 30Freelance Friday, August 31● Learning target: I can explain the benefits of specialization and

gains from trade. I can determine absolute and comparative advantage and I can calculate terms of trade.

● Unit 1a summative test next Thursday, September 6 and Friday, September 7.○ Study guide posted on Verge and on




Absolute and Comparative AdvantageCountries should specialize in the good that is “cheaper” for them to produce (the one for which they have a comparative advantage) and trade for other goods and services.International trade is based on comparative advantage.

Terms of Trade (or “real exchange rate”)


Both countries can benefit from trade if they each have relatively lower opportunity costs. Terms of Trade- The agreed upon conditions

that would benefit both countries.Ex: Trade 1 ton of wheat for 1.5 tons of sugar

1. Who has an absolute advantage in Radios?2. What is the cost of one radio for India?3. What is the per unit opportunity cost for 1 pineapple for Kenya?4. Who has a comparative advantage in pineapples?5. Who has a comparative advantage in radios?6. Who should import pineapples?7. Trading 1 radio for how many pineapples would benefit both

countries?Copyright ACDC Leadership 2018

KenyaIndia


(1P costs 1/3R) (1R costs 3 P)(1P costs 1R) (1R costs 1P)

Kenya wants RadiosIf the terms of trade for 1 radio is greater than 3 pineapples then Kenya is worse off and should make radios on their own.India wants PineapplesIf the terms of trade for 1 radio is less than 1 pineapple then India is worse off and should make pineapples on their own.

What terms of trade benefit both countries?


Trading 1 radio for 2 pineapples will benefit both.If Kenya produces radios by themselves, they give up 3 Pineapples for each radio. If they can trade 2 pineapples for each radio they are better off. If India produces pineapples by themselves, they give up 1 pineapple for one radio. If they can get 2 pineapples for one radio they are better off.

The countries trade at a lower opportunity cost than if they made the products themselves!
