Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The opportunity cost of one t-shirt in Canada is calculated by the amount of wheat given up to produce one more t-shirt. From the table, moving from 100 to 200 t-shirts, Canada gives up 10 tonnes of wheat (from 90 to 80 tonnes), so the opportunity cost is 10 tonnes of wheat for 100 t-shirts, or 1/10 of a tonne of wheat per t-shirt.
