Given the following production possibility curve. \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline & A & B & C & D & E \\ \hline Peanut Butter & 30 & 27 & 22 & 15 & 0 \\ \hline Jelly & 0 & 8 & 11 & 14 & 15 \\ \hline \end{tabular} a) What is the total cost of producing 27 units of peanut butter? b) What is the total cost of producing 8 units of jelly? c) What is the opportunity cost from point \( B \) to point \( D \) ? d) What is the per unit cost of going from point \( B \) to point \( A \) ?
