- a) Graph Production Possibilities Frontier (Curve) for Sugar Beets and Wheat. Put sugar beets on the vertical axis and label that axis Sugar Beets and put wheat on the horizontal axis and label that axis Wheat.
- b) If we are producing 140 tons of beets and 20 tons of wheat, what is the cost of producing 40 more tons of beets?
- c) If we are producing 140 tons of beets and 40 tons of wheat, what is the cost of producing 40 more tons of beets?
- d) Explain why your answers for (b) and (c) above are different. After all in both questions we increased the production of beets by the same 40 tons.
- e) What can we say about the economy currently producing 140 tons of sugar beets and 60 tons of wheat given no change in resources and technology?
- f) Which production option above (A, B, C, D or E) is the best point for this economy to be at? Explain your answer.
