Answer: The opportunity cost of an item is what you give up to get that item. In this case, Pat's opportunity cost of making a pizza is the amount of root beer she gives up brewing. Making a pizza takes her 2 hours; if instead she spent her time producing root beer, she would produce 2 gal * (1 gal rb/ 4 hrs)=1/2 gallon . Similar calculations yield an opportunity cost of 2/3 gallons of root beer for one pizza for Kris.

Pat Correct has an absolute advantage in making pizza, and Pat Correct has a comparative advantage in making pizza

shusha [124]

The correct answer is A) at birth and perhaps even in utero.

How early do sociologists believe parents begin socializing their children into gender? At birth and perhaps even in utero.

Parents are full of happiness with the coming baby. So they start to talk to the baby before he/she is born. That is why the father talks directly into the belly of the mother and expresses sweet and tender words if it is a girl. Or the opposite, if the baby is a boy, the father expresses words such as "you are going to be a tough man," or "you are going to be a great football player..."

That is why doctors and sociologists think that the baby starts to feel or listen to the first concepts about masculinity or feminity.
