Retum to the example in Figure $2.4 .$ Suppose there is an improvement in medical technology that enables more healthcare with the same amount of resources. How would this affect the production possibilities curve and, in particular, how would it affect the opportunity cost of education?
Suppose the following data reflect the production possibilities for providing health care and education. Graph the PPC and answer two questions about production possibilities and opportunity cost. a. Graph the production possibilities curve. Instructions: Use the tool provided 'PPC' to plot the production possibilities curve. (7 points total) Units per Year Health Care Education 400 0 370 20 330 40 270 50 190 60 100 70 0 80 Production Possibilities Curve Health Care (units per year) Education (units per year) b. If maximum health care is provided, how much education will be provided? units of education c. What is the opportunity cost of increasing health care from 330 to 370 units? units of health care education
