robinson crusoe divides his time between catching fish and gathering fruit
To calcu-late the PPF, suppose that Crusoe puts all 8 hours into gathering fruit, so that he gets 36 pounds. But there is no time left for fishing, so he gets 0 pounds of fish. If he takes an hour off from gathering fruit, he gets 35 pounds of fruit and has an hour in which to fishâso he gets 4 pounds of fish.The rest of the PPF is con-structed similarly. 2.ut there is no time left for fishing, so he gets 0 pounds of fish.
