Assume that the following table describes the production possibilities confronting an economy. Using that information:
Potential
Output Combinations Homeless
Shelters Hospitals
A 10 0
B 9 1
C 7 2
D 4 3
E 0 4
Calculate and illustrate on your graph the opportunity cost of building one hospital.
What is the cost of producing a second hospital? Why might the opportunity cost be rising?
