Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hans' opportunity cost of typing one page is calculated by looking at the slope of the production possibilities curve for typing and laundry. The slope is equal to the amount of laundry he gives up for each page typed. From the graph, we can see that Hans gives up 2/3 of a load of laundry to type one page. Therefore, the answer is D.

There is no best choice question given, but if we assume the question is asking for the opportunity cost, the answer would be D.
