Practicing with a graph and EOCT Questions Production Possibilities Curve
What does “guns” represent? • What does “butter” represent? • When you move from point X to point Y, what are you gaining? • When you move from point X to point Y what is your opportunity cost?
Use the following production possibilities curve to answer question number _1___: 1. Which statement is true about the graphic above? A Moving from point X to point Y incurs an opportunity cost of guns. B At point X, this country is producing more butter than guns. C Moving from point X to point Y incurs and opportunity cost of butter. D This country does not have to give up any guns to produce more butter.
Use the following graph for question #_2__: 2. On the graph above, shifting production from 10 lbs of cheese to 20 lbs of cheese means an opportunity cost of A 1 gallon of milk. B 7 gallons of milk. C 10 pounds of cheese. D 20 pounds of cheese.
