Park Land (00 acres) 20, 18, 14, 8, 0

- Does it have the normal shape? (Explain in detail.)
- What is the opportunity cost of raising timber revenue from one thousand to two thousand dollars?
- What is the opportunity cost of raising timber revenue from three thousand to four thousand dollars?
- Why does the opportunity cost change? Explain using the technical knowledge you learned in this chapter.
- Share one of your experience involving opportunity cost.
