Table 3-9 Assume That Maya and Miguel Can Switch Between Producing Mixers

question 51

Multiple Choice

Table 3-9
Assume that Maya and Miguel can switch between producing mixers and producing toasters at a constant rate.
​
-Refer to Table 3-9. 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 -2 and the slope of Miguel's production possibilities frontier would be -2.
• B)the slope of Maya's production possibilities frontier would be -0.5 and the slope of Miguel's production possibilities frontier would be -0.5.
• C)the slope of Maya's production possibilities frontier would be -1.67 and the slope of Miguel's production possibilities frontier would be -1.67.
• D)the slope of Maya's production possibilities frontier would be -0.6 and the slope of Miguel's production possibilities frontier would be -0.6.
