Multiple Choice

Table 1.2 shows the hypothetical trade-off between different combinations of Stealth bombers and B-1 bombers that might be produced in a year with the limited U.S.capacity,ceteris paribus.Complete the table by calculating the required opportunity costs for both the B-1 and Stealth bombers. $\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline \text { Combination }&\text { Number of } & \begin{array}{c}\text { Opportunity Cost of } \\\text { Stealth Bombers in }\end{array} & \text { Number of } & \text { Opportunity Cost of B- } \\&\text { Stealth } & \text { Terms of B-1 } & \text { B-1 } & 1 \text { Bombers in Terms of } \\&\text { Bombers } & \text { Bombers } & \text { Bombers } & \text { Stealth Bombers } \\\hline \mathrm{A} & 195 & & 20 \\\hline \mathrm{B} & 180 & & 35 \\\hline \mathrm{C} & 150 & & 45 \\\hline \mathrm{D} & 100 & & 50 \\\hline\end{array}$

Table 1.2

Definitions:

Quartz

A hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms, widely used in jewelry and electronics.

Halite

Also known as rock salt, a mineral form of sodium chloride (NaCl) that often occurs in evaporite deposits.

Crystal

A solid material whose atoms are arranged in highly ordered, repeating patterns extending in all three spatial dimensions.

Cleavage

The tendency of a mineral to break along flat planar surfaces as determined by the mineral’s crystal structure, often enhancing its gem quality.
