Answer the following questions:

 

1.                  Lawns produce no crops but occupy more land (25 million acres) in the United States than any single crop, such as corn. This means that the United States is operating inefficiently and hence is at a point inside the production possibility curve. Right? If not, what does it mean?

2.            Suppose the United States and Japan have the following production possibility tables:

Japan		United States

400	300	200	600
200	400	100	800
0	500	0	1,000
