Answer: A. 2 units of rice.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost of producing lumber is:

= Maximum rice production / maximum lumber production

= 100 / 300

= 1/3 units of rice

If the country wants to increase its lumber production by 6, it will incur an opportunity cost of:

= 6 * 1/3

= 2 units of rice

Chiquita produces bananas for an average explicit cost of $0.25 per banana and sells 1 million bananas per week for a price of $
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Implicit costs per week = $200,000

Average explicit cost per banana = $0.25 per banana

Per week bananas sold = 1 million

Explicit cost = Average explicit cost per banana × No. of banana sold

                    = $0.25 × 1,000,000

                    = $250,000

Total revenue = No. of banana sold × Selling price of each banana

                        = 1,000,000 × $0.50

                        = $500,000

Accounting profit = Total revenue - Explicit cost

                             = $500,000 - $250,000

                             = $250,000

Economic profit:

= Total revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit costs

= $500,000 - $250,000 - $200,000

= $50,000
