  1. How many games is Caitlin capable of coding in a single year if she does nothing else?
  2. How many games is Tyler capable of coding in a single year if he does nothing else?
  3. Who has the absolute advantage in coding business apps?
  4. Who has the absolute advantage in coding games?
  5. In terms of business apps, what is the opportunity cost for Caitlin to code a single game?
  6. In terms of business apps, what is the opportunity cost for Tyler to code a single game?
  7. In terms of games, what is the opportunity cost for Caitlin to code a single business app?
  8. In terms of games, what is the opportunity cost for Tyler to code a single business app?
  9. Who has the comparative advantage in coding business apps?
  10. Who has the comparative advantage in coding games?
  11. If they were to code 60 games together, who should code them?
  12. Assuming they are producing efficiently and they are coding 60 games between the two of them, how many business apps is Caitlin coding? How many business apps is Tyler coding?

Here we are going to draw the Production Possibilities Curve for "Caitlin and Tyler's Apps" showing the different quantities of business apps and games that can be produced by Caitlin and Tyler during a year's production. We will start by drawing one for Caitlin and one for Tyler separately and then we will put them together.

  1. Draw Caitlin's Production Possibilities curve below. (Hint: Put Business Apps on the vertical axis and Games on the horizontal axis)
  2. Draw Tyler's Production Possibilities Curve below. (Hint: Again put Business Apps on the vertical axis and Games on the horizontal axis)
  3. Draw Caitlin's Tyler's combined Production Possibilities Curve below. (Hint: Once again put Business Apps on the vertical axis and Games on the horizontal axis)
  4. Thought Question: If they get paid 2.5 times as much to code a business app compared to a game, what is the total number of games they should code and what is the total number of business apps that they should code?
