Use the table for the question(s) below.
| Combination | A | B | C | D | E | F | G |
| Vaccine doses (millions) | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| Guns | 0 | 10,000 | 19,000 | 24,000 | 28,000 | 30,000 | 31,000 |
In the table above, the opportunity cost of vaccines
| remains constant as more vaccines are produced. |
| remains constant as more guns are produced. |
| increases as more guns are produced. |
| increases as more vaccines are produced. |
| decreases as more vaccines are produced. |
If the economy is currently producing at a point inside its Production Possibilities Frontier,
| alternate products must be sacrificed in order for production to increase. |
| technology must improve in order for production to increase. |
| human capital must improve in order to production to increase. |
| more resources must be discovered in order for production to increase. |
| production can increase if resources are used more efficiently. |
Increases in the capital stock or improvements in technology may cause
| only a parallel shift inward of the Production Possibilities Frontier. |
| a movement to a point inside the Production Possibilities Frontier. |
| only a parallel shift outward of the Production Possibilities Frontier. |
| a movement along the frontier but not a shift of the frontier if only one type of production is favored. |
| both an outward shift in the frontier and a change in the overall slope of the Production Possibilities Frontier, if the change more greatly improves one type of production than the other. |
Productive efficiency requires that a nation produce
| at one particular point inside its Production Possibilities Frontier. |
| at any point outside its Production Possibilities Frontier. |
| the most capital goods possible. |
| at any point on its Production Possibilities Frontier. |
| at one particular point on its Production Possibilities Frontier. |

In the table above, the opportunity cost of vaccines
Correct Answer:- increases as more vaccines are produced
Answer:- If the economy is currently producing at a point inside its Production Possibilities Frontier,
Correct Answer:- production can increase if resources are used more efficiently.
Answer:- Increases in the capital stock or improvements in technology may cause
Correct Answer:- both an outward shift in the frontier and a change in the overall slope of the Production Possibilities Frontier, if the change more greatly improves one type of production than the other.
Answer:- Productive efficiency requires that a nation produce
Correct Answer:-
at any point on its Production Possibilities Frontier.
