Figure 1-7 shows the production possibilities boundary for an economy that produces two goods-cotton and bananas.
FIGURE 1-7
Refer to Figure 1-7. A production possibilities boundary is shown for an economy that produces two goods-cotton and bananas, both measured in tonnes produced per year. Suppose this economy moves from point D to point F, where it is then producing bananas exclusively. Which of the following explanations best describes the opportunity cost involved in producing this extra 100 tonnes of bananas?
◦ The opportunity cost is very low in this case because resources that are probably much better suited to producing cotton are now being devoted to producing bananas.
◦ The opportunity cost is very high in this case because resources that are probably much better suited to producing bananas are now being devoted to producing cotton.
◦ The opportunity cost of producing the extra bananas is independent of the amount being produced.
◦ The opportunity cost is very low in this case because resources that are probably much better suited to producing bananas are now being devoted to producing cotton.
◦ The opportunity cost is very high in this case because resources that are probably much better suited to producing cotton are now being devoted to producing bananas.
Primary production increases with an increase in total phosphorus concentration.
