(01.01–01.03, 05.06 HC) Assume that Atlantis and the Mushroom Kingdom use equal resources to produce consumer and capital goods, as illustrated in the table below showing maximum possible production figures. Country Capital Goods Consumer Goods Atlantis 60 units 180 units Mushroom Kingdom 20 units 100 units Draw a fully labeled production possibility curve for Atlantis. Place capital goods on the vertical axis and consumer goods on the horizontal axis. Assume constant opportunity cost. On your graph from part (a), label an inefficient point of production I, an efficient point of production E, and an unattainable point of production U. Which country has the comparative advantage in the production of capital goods? Explain. If Atlantis shifted from producing 10 units of capital goods and 150 units of consumer goods to producing 24 units of capital goods and 108 units of consumer goods, what would be the impact on its economic growth in the long run? Based on the data table, what range of capital goods could be traded for 15 units of consumer goods that would be mutually beneficial?

(06.01–06.06 HC) Country Alpha and Country Beta are trading partners each with a current account balance of zero. Country Alpha’s currency is the dollar, and Country Beta’s currency is the euro.

Draw a graph of the foreign exchange market for the dollar of Country Alpha. Illustrate the effect of the inflation change from part (a) on the value of its dollar compared to the euro of Country Beta. Now if tastes in Country Beta shift toward goods of Country Alpha, what will be the impact on the demand for the dollar of Country Alpha? Explain. Based on part (c), what will be the effect on the value of the dollar of Country Alpha compared to the euro of Country Beta?
