(c)What is the cost to Lavaland of moving from point E to point F?
(d)What general economic principle is being illustrated by your answers to part (b)and (c)above? Explain. B.In moving from A to B each tank required the giving up of an average of 1/4 of a pizza,whereas moving from E to F one tank required giving up 5 pizzas.The increasing cost of another tank (in terms of pizzas foregone)as Lavaland moved from A to F illustrates the principle of increasing marginal opportunity cost.
