I don’t have the PPC diagram or the table you’re looking at, so I can’t pick the right choice yet. Could you either paste the production-possibilities table/coordinates or upload the graph?
How to find the answer once you give the PPC:
- Find two points on the curve that differ by one pair of hiking inserts (or compute the slope over that interval).
- Opportunity cost of producing 1 more hiking insert = the decrease in running-insert output = change in running pairs ÷ change in hiking pairs.
Example: if moving from (running, hiking) = (10, 0) to (7, 1), the cost of 1 hiking insert = 10 − 7 = 3 running pairs (so choose “three pairs of running shoe inserts”).
Send the PPC data and I’ll pick the correct option.
