Answer:

d. people face trade-offs.

Explanation:

The production possibility frontier shows all the combinations of two goods an economy can produce when all its resocurces are fully employed.

At one extreme of the curve, the highest possible amount of one good is produced while zero quantity of the second good is produced . To produce more quantity of the second good, one has to produce less quantity of the first good. This illustrates trade off.

None of the projects should be accepted because they have negative NPV

Explanation:

The question requires the computation of NPV using 0% and 9%.

The cashflows of the two projects will be discounted at 0% and 9%.

The discount factors for each project can be calculated using the formula (1+r)-n. The cashflows of the projects will be multiplied by the discount factors to obtain the present values. NPV is the difference between present values of cash inflows and initial outlay.
