- As more of a good, such as television sets, is produced, the opportunity costs of producing it increases. This most likely occurs because O a. as more of a good is produced the quality of that good declines and therefore the costs of production increase. O b. resources are not equally well suited to producing all goods and as more of a good is produced it is necessary to use resources less well suited to the production of that good. as more of a good is produced the inputs used to produce that good will increase in price. d. consumers would be willing to pay higher prices for the good as more of the good is produced.arrow_forwardWhich of the following does not correctly explain about the purposeful behavior that reflects "rational self-interest? 1) Sellers try to make the most profits possible from the sales of their products as many as possible.
