Answer 2

Answer:

Opportunity Cost (of 1 Table) = 6 Chairs for Ken

Opportunity Cost (of 1 Table) = 3 Chairs for Traci

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the "cost" incurred when one foregoes the benefit associated with the best substitute choice

Makes 8 Tables or 24 Chairs, this implies that for every Table made, 3 Chairs could have been made

Opportunity Cost (of 1 Table) = 3 Chairs
