Answer to Question 1

The opportunity cost of a T-shirt is 2 lipsticks. If her parents change her allowance, the opportunity cost of a T-shirt is unaffected.

Answer to Question 2

Life expectancy has increased from 38.3 years in 1850 to 79.6 years in 2015. The average height of adult males has increased from 5'7 in 1850 to 5'9.5 in 2015. Infant mortality has dropped from 228.9 per 1,000 live births in 1850 to 6.2 per 1,000 live births in 2015.

Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
