I answered some questions. pls check if they are correct and pls help in questions e and f.

Production Possibilities

Possibility Maximum Units of Good A Maximum Units of Good B
a 200 0
b 180 60
c 160 100
d 100 160
e 40 200
f 0 220

a. Plot these production possibilities, label the points, and draw the PPF (put good B on the x-axis).
b. If the economy moves from possibility c to possibility d, the opportunity cost unit of good B will be how many units of good A? 60
c. If the economy moves from possibility d to possibility e, the opportunity cost unit of good B will be how many units of good A? 40
d. In general terms, what happens to the opportunity cost of good B as the output of good B increases? Good rises and society produces more of that good
e. In general terms, what happens to the opportunity cost of good A as the output of good A increases?
f. What do the results in questions d & e imply about resources?

Sorry, if you tried to "cut and paste" it doesn't work here. You need to type it all out.

To determine the correct answers to questions e and f, we need to understand the concept of opportunity cost and how it relates to the production possibilities frontier (PPF).

e. The opportunity cost of good A as the output of good A increases can be generalized as follows: as the production of good A increases, more resources have to be diverted from the production of good B, resulting in a higher opportunity cost of good B in terms of units of good A. In other words, when you produce more of good A, you have to give up more units of good B. This implies that the opportunity cost of good A increases as the output of good A increases.

f. The results of questions d and e imply that resources are not equally efficient in producing both goods. When the output of one good increases, resources have to be reallocated from the production of the other good, resulting in a higher opportunity cost. This indicates that resources are limited and have alternative uses. In order to produce more of one good, society must sacrifice the production of the other good. The PPF visually represents this trade-off by showing all possible combinations of the two goods that can be produced with the available resources.
