Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

a) Jean cannot type 90 pages and create 2 Web pages because, as row D shows, that combination is beyond her PPF.

Movement from Increase in typed pages Decrease in Web pages Opportunity cost
A to B 40 1 1/40
B to C 30 1 1/30
C to D 20 1 1/20
D to E 10 1 1/10

b) The opportunity cost is the ratio of the decrease in the number of Web pages divided by the increase in the number of typed pages. The table above gives the opportunity cost for typed pages.
