In years 1 and 2, there are 2 goods produced in a given economy, hamburgers and pens. In year 1, 10,000 hamburgers are produced and sold at $2 each, and in year 2, 40,000 hamburgers are produced and sold at $2.10 each. In year 1, 15,000 pencils are sold for $2 dollars each and in year 2, 38,000 pencils are sold for $3 each.
