Table 1.2 shows the hypothetical trade-off between different combinations of Stealth bombers and B-1 bombers that might be produced in a year with the limited U.S.capacity, ceteris paribus.Complete the table by calculating the required opportunity costs for both the B-1 and Stealth bombers.

Table 1.2
Production Possibilities for Bombers On the basis of your calculations in Table 1.2, what is gained by producing at point B rather than point A?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moving from point A to point B, the production of B-1 bombers increases from 20 to 35, which is a gain of 15 B-1 bombers.
