question 55

Multiple Choice

Table 1.1 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.
$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline \text { Combination } & \begin{array}{c}\text { Number } \\\text { of Stealth } \\\text { Bombers }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Opportunity cost } \\\text { of Stealth } \\\text { Bombers in } \\\text { Terms of B-1s }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Number } \\\text { of B-1s }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Opportunity } \\\text { Cost of B-1s in } \\\text { Terms of Stealth } \\\text { Bombers }\end{array} \\\hline \mathrm{S} & 10 & & 0 & \\\hline \mathrm{T} & 9 & & 1 & \\\hline \mathrm{U} & 7 & & 2 & \\\hline \mathrm{V} & 4 & & 3 & \\\hline\end{array}$

$\text {Table 1.1}$
$\text {Production Possibilities for Bombers}$ The highest opportunity cost anywhere in Table 1.1 for B-1 bombers in terms of Stealth bombers is

• A)1 Stealth bomber per B
• B)3 Stealth bombers per B
• C)2 Stealth bombers per B
• D)0.5 Stealth bomber per B
