There was once a tree on the Campus of Benedict College that students labeled the “Dummy Tree.” This was done because students that were often seen under the tree were considered to be wasting their very valuable time.  Therefore, this tree was attributed with contributing to the bad grades of those students that were constantly under the tree.  Let’s say that a student spent 4 hours a week under the tree and was supposed to spend 15 hours a week in class.  Further suppose that this particular student made some new friends through out the semester that are bad influences.  They were able to convince him to hang out longer under the tree.  So now he is under the tree 7 hours a week.  What happened to his class time?  Show a production possibilities model that may have demonstrated this student’s behavior.  Do not forget to include opportunity costs in your analysis.
