Question 1

Use the following scenario to answer the next ten questions: Natasha can produce either 5,000 pounds of cheese or 20 houses per

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Jameson’s opportunity cost of producing one pound of cheese is 0,002 house(s).

Explanation:

Opportunity costs represent the benefits an individual, investor or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. Resources are limited, therefore the decision to make a quantity of product A limits the amount of producing product B.

In this exercise, Jameson has the resources to produce 5000 pounds of cheese or 10 houses per year or a combination of both.

To calculate the opportunity cost you need to determine how much of a house is 1 pound of cheese.

Opportunity cost= 10house/5000pounds= 0,002

So to produce 1 pound of cheese you need 0,002 of a house.

1 9

0 12

Explanation: At combination E, the economy is producing 0 books and 12 shirts. Since the opportunity cost of 1 book is 3 shirts, moving from point E to point D (gaining 1 book) requires this economy to produce 3 fewer shirts. Thus, the number of shirts in combination D must be 12 shirts−3 shirts=9 shirts. The rest of the combinations can be calculated in a similar fashion, with the answers summarized in the following table.

A 4 3−3=0

B 3 6−3=3

C 2 9−3=6
