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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
