b ) Lady Galadriel the Elf makes magic soil available which increases the production of both taters and pipeweed by 50 percent . Draw the new PPF for the Shire . Show the slope of the PPF. Calculate the new opportunity costs for both taters and pipeweed. Make your changes from the prior question. C ) Gandalf the wizard enjoys smoking pipeweed so much he puts a spell on the tobacco plants so that they double in size and produce twice as much . Draw the new PPF for the Shire . Show the slope of the PPF. Calculate the new opportunity costs for both taters and pipeweed . Make your changes from the prior question d) Saruman's Uruk -Hai invade the Shire and destroy half the arable land . The uruks are finally driven out of the Shire by the very large (for hobbits ) Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took. Draw the new PPF for the Shire. Show the slope of the PPF. Calculate the new opportunity costs for both taters and pipeweed . Make your changes from the prior question Section 2 Hobbits love to eat and smoke their pipes . As for the hobbits of the Shire , ... in the days of their peace and prosperity they were a merry folk . They dressed in bright colours being notably fond of yellow and green ; but they seldom wore shoes , since their feet had tough leathery soles and were clad in a thick curling hair , much like the hair of their heads , which was commonly brown .... Their faces were as a rule good -natured rather than beautiful , broad , bright -eyed , red -cheeked , with mouths apt to laughter , and to eating and drinking . And laugh they did , and eat , and drink , often and heartily ..... There they saw close beside them a great rubble -heap ; and suddenly they were aware of two small figures lying on it at their ease .... One seemed asleep; the other, with crossed legs and arms behind his head , leaned back against a broken rock and sent from his mouth long wisps and little rings of thin blue smoke . The Shire would like to consume more taters and pipeweed than it currently has. Farmer Cotton and old Gaffer Gamgee are two of the best farmers in the Shire (the Gaffer taught his son Samwise everything he knows). Farmer Cotton can produce 2 barrels of pipeweed a day or 3 tons of taters. The Gaffer can produce 2 barrels of pipeweed or 4 tons of taters (he is regarded as an expert in the matter of the growing of roots, especially potatoes )
