Visualize a straight down-slope PPF (Production Possibility Frontier/Curve) for two countries the United States and Taiwan. Both countries produce YO-YOs and Tennis Shoes.
The PPF for the United States shows that on the Y-Axis its Output for YO-YOs is 100 million (per year) and X-Axis its Output for Tennis Shoes is 25 million (per year).
The PPF for Taiwan shows that on the Y-Axis its Output for YO-YOs is 20 million (per year) and X-Axis its Output for Tennis Shoes is 10 million (per year).
Considering the PPFs for both countries, the opportunity cost of producing 1 YO-YO in Taiwan is:
Answers:
A.
2 pairs of tennis shoes.
B.
One-half of a yo-yo.
C.
Greater than the opportunity cost in the United States.
D.
Equal to the opportunity cost of producing 1 yo-yo in the U.S.
