Answer:

b. Computers: Increase / Rice: Decrease  

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the benefits foregone of non chosen option when an option is chosen out of all available options which includes the non chosen option.

At full employment level, resources are employed in the most efficient manner, then to increase the production of one good, certain resources need to be diverted which were earlier used in the production of other goods (assuming the country produces only 2 goods).

Thus, if technology progresses only in the production of one good, that would imply that now the production of such a good would be encouraged.

Hence, the opportunity cost of computers would increase whereas that of producing rise would decrease.

Maria works as a tutor for $10 an hour and as a waitress for $14 an hour. This month, she worked a combined total of 83 hours at
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$ (-4t+872)

Explanation:

Earning for 1 hour as a tutor= $10

Earnings for 1 hour as a waitress= $14

Total hours worked in the month combined jobs= 83 hrs

Number of hours worked as a tutor for the month= t

Finding the number of hours worked as a waitress for the month= 83-t  hours

Total amount earned that month = amount earned as a tutor+ amount earned as a waitress

Amount earned as a tutor= $10 × t = $10t

Amount earned as a waitress= $14× (83-t)= $ (1162-14t)

Total amount earned combined= $ 10t + $ (1162-14t)

                                                   =$ ( 10t-14t +1162)

                                                   = $ (-4t+872)
