Suppose that you own a house. What is the opportunity cost of living in the house? The opportunity cost is the cost of your monthly mortgage payment plus bills. O The opportunity cost is the rent you could have received from a tenant if you didn't live there. O There is no opportunity cost unless you could set up a business in the house. O There is no opportunity cost because you own the house.

Suppose that you have 10 acres of land that is being fully used to grow potatoes. All 10 acres are equally productive in terms of growing potatoes. If you start converging your land to industrial use by building workshops on it (one workshop takes 1 acre of land), what should you expect to happen in terms of opportunity cost of each additional workshop? zero opportunity cost constant opportunity cost O increasing opportunity cost

Elijah and Aneesha are farmers. Each one owns a 14-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of maize and squash each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing maize or squash or to produce maize on some of the land and squash on the rest. Elijah Aneesha SQUASH (Pounds) 140 On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Elijah's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Aneesha's PPF. 126 112 98 84 70 42 28 14 0 Maize (Pounds per acre) 10 18 0 Squash (Pounds per acre) 6 70 140 210 280 350 420 490 560 630 MAIZE (Pounds) 700 Elijah's opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of squash is squash is pounds of maize. Because Elijah has a comparative advantage in the production of squash, and Elijah's PPF Aneesha's PPF (?) Aneesha has an absolute advantage in the production of maize, and Aneesha has an absolute advantage in the production of squash. 2…

Which of the following scenarios might explain what an economy would be operating inside its production possibilities curve? Select one: O a. Because damage to natural resources, such as might be caused by deforestation leading to erosion of topsoil, has shrunk the land resource O b. Because of discrimination against employing workers of a certain race or gender O . Because shrinking population has reduced the number of productive workers in the economy O d. Because technological innovations have increased the productivity of labour and capital
Shen and Valerie are farmers. Each one owns a 20-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of corn and rye each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing corn or rye or to produce corn on some of the land and rye on the rest. Corn Rye (Bushels per acre) (Bushels per acre) Shen 20 5 Valerie 50 10 On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Shen's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Valerie's PPF. 200 180 Shen's PPF 180 140 120 Valerie's PPF 100 80 60 40 20 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 CORN (Bushels) has an absolute advantage in the production of corn, and has an absolute advantage in the production of rye.
