Suppose Poornima is currently using combination D, producing one boat per day. Her opportunity cost of producing a second boat per day is per day.
Now, suppose Poornima is currently using combination C, producing two boats per day. Her opportunity cost of producing a third boat per day is per day.
From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Poornima increases her production of boats, her opportunity…
