Question : 25) Moving from a point inside the production possibilities frontier : 1240761

 

25) Moving from a point inside the production possibilities frontier to a point on the production possibilities frontier, the opportunity cost of producing more of the good on the horizontal axis

A) increases.

B) decreases.

C) is constant.

D) is 0.

E) is infinite.

 

26) Consider a production possibility frontier with jeans on the vertical axis and shoes on the horizontal axis. As a country moves along the frontier closer to the vertical axis,

A) the opportunity cost of producing jeans increases.

B) the opportunity cost of producing shoes increases.

C) there are fewer tradeoffs.

D) inefficient production occurs.

E) the opportunity cost of producing jeans decreases.

27) Suppose that in a PPF graph, wheat is on the vertical axis and jets are on the horizontal axis. Moving down along the PPF, the

A) number of jets increases and the opportunity cost of jets increases.

B) amount of wheat increases and the opportunity cost of wheat increases.

C) number of jets increases and the opportunity cost of jets decreases.

D) amount of wheat increases and opportunity cost of wheat decreases.

E) opportunity cost of jets and wheat both increase.

 

28) Why is a production possibilities frontier bowed out (concave)?

A) The bowed shape reflects constant opportunity cost.

B) The bowed shape reflects decreasing opportunity cost.

C) The bowed shape indicates that opportunity cost at first decreases at a decreasing rate, and then begins to decrease at an increasing rate.

D) The bowed shape indicates that opportunity cost at first increases at a decreasing rate, and then begins to increase at an increasing rate.

E) The bowed shape reflects increasing opportunity cost.

 

29) The bowed out (concave) shape of the production possibilities curve implies that as production of one good

A) increases, society must forgo increasing amounts of another good.

B) increases, society must forgo decreasing amounts of another good.

C) decreases, production of other goods decreases as well.

D) increases, production of other goods increases as well.

E) increases, society can obtain a free lunch.

30) The idea of increasing opportunity cost is reflected in the

A) bowed out shape of the production possibilities frontier.

B) bowed in shape of the production possibilities frontier.

C) linear shape of the production possibilities frontier.

D) positive slope of the production possibilities frontier.

E) fact that the PPF shows there are unattainable production points.

 

31) A bowed out production possibilities frontier shows

A) that resources are equally productive in all uses.

B) increasing opportunity cost.

C) that resources are not equally productive in all uses.

D) Both answers B and C are correct.

E) Both answers A and B are correct.

 

32) The opportunity cost of a good increases as more of it is produced because

A) there is no such thing as a free lunch.

B) resources are not equally productive in all activities.

C) producing more of a good requires additional resources.

D) the number of forgone alternatives also increases.

E) people want the good less as more is produced.

33) As an economy increasingly specializes in producing one good, the opportunity cost of that good increases. The opportunity cost increases because

A) resources are not equally productive in all activities.

B) what must be paid to resources increases.

C) human wants are virtually unlimited.

D) not all goods are equally valuable.

E) as more of a good is produced, the profit from its production must rise.

 

34) As an economy produces more of one of the goods on a bowed out production possibilities frontier, what happens to the opportunity cost of producing the good?

A) It remains constant.

B) It decreases.

C) It increases.

D) It might increase, decrease, or remain constant depending on how much people value the additional units of the good.

E) None of these depicts what happens to opportunity cost.
