Consider the production possibilities frontier that shows the trade-off between the production of cotton (on the y-axis) and the production of soybeans (on the x-axis). Suppose that genetic modification makes cotton resistant to insects, allowing yields to increase. If a genetic modification makes cotton resistant to insects, then the PPF will :A. shift out along both axes. B. remain unchanged. C. shift out along the cotton axis. D. shift out along the soybeans axis. This indicates that morecan be produced.

White truffles are a very prized and rare edible fungus that grow naturally in the countryside near alba, italy. suppose that it costs $200 per day to search for white truffles. on an average day, the total number of white truffles (t) found in alba is t = 20x − x 2 , where x is the number of people searching for white truffles on that day. white truffles can be sold for $100 each. if there is no regulation, how many more people will be searching for white truffles than the socially optimal number?
