Answer
16. d. 6 televisions
From the figure we see that at point 'S', the economy is producing '6' televisions and '4' radios. At point 'T', the economy is producing '0' televisions and '6' radios. Thus moving from point 'S' to point 'T', the economy is sacrificing 6 televisions (6 - 0) to produce 2 more radios(6 - 4). Thus the opportunity cost of 2 more radios is '6' televisions.

17. c. Both point S and point V are efficient.
All the points that lie on the production possibility frontier are efficient production points. From the figure we see that both point S and point V lie on the production possibility frontier. Thus both the points are efficient points.

If an economy is operating inside its production possibilities frontier: A) it is producing efficiently. The economy cannot produce more of one good without simultaneously reducing the output of another good. B) is producing inefficiently. If production was arranged more efficiently the economy can produce more on one good without sacrificing any production of another good. C) it is producing at an unattainable point. You cannot be inside the Production Possibilities Frontier. D) then opportunity cost approaches infinity. No economy...
