The Tivoli, by themselves, each month can produce 40 pounds of spaghetti and no meatballs, or 30 pounds of meatballs and no spaghetti, or any combination in between. a. Assume that all PPF are straight lines. Draw one diagram showing the monthly PPF for the Tivoli and another showing the monthly PPF for the Frivoli. Show how you calculated them. b. Which tribe has the comparative advantage in spaghetti production? In meatball production?

Assume that PStr is equal to $8, I is equal to $150, and Plcr is equal to $5. a. Determine the price elasticity of demand for strawberries. b. Determine the income elasticity of demand for strawberries. Is strawberry a normal/inferior good? Why? c.
