Good Afternoon. I have a document on Macroeconomics that I need assistance in solving. Thank you.

Here are the problems that I need assistance with thank you.

Question 1:Production Possibilities Analysis:

Assume the following Production Possibilities Schedule is for the United States.

Consumer GoodsProducer Goods

4000

300150

200250

100325

0350

Use the above schedule to answer the following questions:

a.Assume that the United States is operating with the above schedule and is currently producing 200 Consumer Goods and 250 Producer Goods. What is the opportunity cost of producing 25 more Producer Goods?

b.Now assume the US is operating with the above schedule and is currently producing 200 Consumer Goods and 150 Producer Goods. What is the opportunity cost of 15 more Producer Goods?

c.Assume the United States is currently producing 200 Consumer Goods and 250 Producer Goods. Brazil needs 50 Producer Goods to expand highways into the farming regions around Sao Paulo. They offer to trade Consumer Goods for the 50 Producer Goods. In order to get the 50 Producer Goods, the United States would have to increase production of Producer Goods from 250 to 300. What is the least amount the US should accept for the 50 Producer Goods? What is the most the United States should accept for the 50 producer Goods?

Question 2:Okun's Law

Assume the United States has the following employment information:

People Working One Full Time Job:110,000,000

People Working One Part Time Job:24,000,000

Discouraged Workers:460,000

Labor Force:148,000,000

Natural Rate of Unemployment5%

a.What is the unemployment rate in this economy?

b.How many of these people are either frictionally or structurally unemployed?

c.Is the economy at full employment?

d.Is this economy in a recession?

e.If the actual (current) GDP is $12,364 billion, what is the GDP Gap?
