Need help with the graph. Thank you

An economy consists of three workers: Bob, Eric, and Kenji. Each works 10 hours a day and can produce two services: mowing lawns and washing cars. In an hour, Bob can either mow 2 lawns or wash 1 car; Eric can either mow 1 lawn or wash 1 car; and Kenji can either mow 1 lawn or wash 2 cars.

For each of the scenarios listed in the following table, determine how many lawns will be mowed and how many cars will be washed per day and enter these values into the corresponding row.

Answer:

So let’s calculate services produced in one day due to different scenarios.

Scenario 1: 40 lawns mowed; 0 washed cars

Scenario 2: 0 lawns mowed, 40 washed cars

Scenario3: 20 lawns mowed; 20 washed cars

Scenario 4: 25 lawns mowed; 25 washed cars

So Scenario 3 is inefficient. More washed cars and mowed lawns can be

produced by simply reallocating the time of the three individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

See graph in the attached file.
