Table 3-6 Assume That Maya and Miguel Can Switch Between Producing Mixers

question 312

Multiple Choice

Table 3-6
Assume that Maya and Miguel can switch between producing mixers and producing toasters at a constant rate.

-Refer to Table 3-6.We could use the information in the table to draw a production possibilities frontier for Maya and a second production possibilities frontier for Miguel.If we were to do this,measuring mixers along the horizontal axis,then

• A) the slope of Maya's production possibilities frontier would be -1.6 and the slope of Miguel's production possibilities frontier would be -2.
• B) the slope of Maya's production possibilities frontier would be -0.625 and the slope of Miguel's production possibilities frontier would be -0.5.
• C) the slope of Maya's production possibilities frontier would be 0.625 and the slope of Miguel's production possibilities frontier would be 0.5.
• D) the slope of Maya's production possibilities frontier would be 1.6 and the slope of Miguel's production possibilities frontier would be 2.
