Consider the production possibilities curve for a country that can produce sweaters, apples (in bushels), or a combination of the two. What is the opportunity cost of apples as production moves from Q to R? What is the opportunity cost of apples as production moves from U to V? What happens to the opportunity cost of apples as we increase the production of apples? Explain. Type your answer
