Problem #1 Production Possibilities Curve Two fields can be planted on Robinson Crusoe's island. Each can be used to grow oranges or apples. If Field A is planted entirely with oranges, it will produce 2 bushels (bu.) of oranges. If A is planted entirely with apples, it will yield 4 bu. of that crop. For Field B, the numbers are reversed: B will produce 4 bu. of oranges if entirely planted with oranges, or it will produce 2 bu. of apples if entirely devoted to that crop. IF A FIELD IS SPLIT BETWEEN THE TWO CROPS, the output of each crop from that field will be proportional to the fraction of the field planted in that crop.

Problem #1 Production Possibilities Curve
Two fields can be planted on Robinson Crusoe's island. Each
can be used to grow oranges or apples. If Field A is planted entirely with oranges, it will produce 2 bushels (bu.) of oranges. If A is planted entirely with apples, it will yield 4 bu. of that crop. For Field B, the numbers are reversed: B will produce 4 bu. of oranges if entirely planted with oranges, or it will produce 2 bu. of apples if entirely devoted to that crop. IF A FIELD IS SPLIT BETWEEN THE TWO CROPS, the output of each crop from that field will be proportional to the fraction of the field planted in that crop. For example, if half of B is planted with each crop, then it will produce 2 bu. of oranges and 1 bu. of apples.
a) What is the island's maximum possible output of oranges? __6 bu________
b) Graph your answer in a) on the axes found on the next page and label it point H. (Put oranges on the horizontal axis and apples on the vertical axis).
c) What is the island's maximum possible output of...
