The Table Below Shows the Maximum Possible Combinations of Computers

question 34

Multiple Choice

The table below shows the maximum possible combinations of computers and shoes that each of Cambria and Bodoni can produce. Suppose the data in the table is converted into production possibilities curves with constant opportunity costs for both the countries. The number of computers produced is measured along the vertical axis, and the pairs of shoes produced is measured along the horizontal axis. Which of the following is true in such a case?Table 18.1:

• A)The slope of Cambria's production possibilities curve equals 2, and the slope of Bodoni's production possibilities curve equals 1/2.
• B)The slope of Cambria's production possibilities curve equals −1/2, and the slope of Bodoni's production possibilities curve equals −2.
• C)The slope of Cambria's production possibilities curve equals 1/2, and the slope of Bodoni's production possibilities curve equals 2.
• D)The slope of Cambria's production possibilities curve equals −2, and the slope of Bodoni's production possibilities curve equals −1/2.
• E)The slope of Cambria's production possibilities curve equals 1/3, and the slope of Bodoni's production possibilities curve equals 3.
