Homework Answers
The economy is initially producing at point A, that is 20,000 barrels of oil and 540 million gallons of drinking water. If it wants to produce an additional 10,000 barrels of oil, then it will move to point B. At point B, it produces 30,000 barrels of oil and 480 million gallons of drinking water.
Therefore, the opportunity cost of producing an additional 10,000 barrels of oil is (540 - 480) million = 60 million gallons of drinking water. That is, the economy needs to give up 60 million gallons of drinking water in order to produce an additional 10,000 barrels of oil.
If now the economy wants to move from point B to point C, then the opportunity cost of producing an additional 10,000 barrels of oil is (480 - 400) million = 80 million gallons of drinking water.
Comparing the answers in the two previous paragraphs, you can see that the opportunity cost of 10,000 additional barrels of oil at point B is more than the opportunity cost of 10,000 additional barrels of oil at point A. This reflects the increasing opportunity cost.
