Question

The chart shows a production possibilities schedule for Sabrina’s Soccer.



Which statement correctly explains the chart?



The opportunity cost of producing one soccer net is eight soccer balls.
The opportunity cost of producing two soccer nets is two soccer balls.
The opportunity cost of producing two soccer balls is one soccer net.
The opportunity cost of producing four soccer balls is three soccer nets.

Answer 1

I can’t see the chart you mention. Could you either upload the image or type the production combinations (for example: 0 nets → 16 balls; 1 net → 12 balls; 2 nets → 8 balls, etc.)?

How to check the four choices once you give the points:
- To find the opportunity cost of producing 1 net, find two schedule points that differ by 1 net and subtract the number of balls: cost = (balls before) − (balls after).
- To find the opportunity cost of producing X balls, find two points that differ by X balls and compute the lost nets: cost = (nets before) − (nets after).

If you paste the schedule I’ll compute which statement is correct.
