Suppose Yakov is currently using combination D, producing one train per day. His opportunity cost of producing a second train per day is _________ per day. Now, suppose Yakov is currently using combination C, producing two trains per day. His opportunity cost of producing a third train per day is ________ per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Yakov increases his production of trains, his opportunity cost of producing one more train increases or decreases? . Suppose Yakov buys a new tool that enables him to produce twice as many trains per hour as before, but it doesn't affect his ability to produce balls. Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot his new PPF on the previous graph. Because he can now make more trains per hour, Yakov's opportunity cost of producing balls is higher than/lower than or stays same it was previously.
