Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

A production possibility curve shows the different bundles of two goods that can be produced using all the resources and technology available.

The slope of the curve represents the opportunity cost of producing a good.

We cannot increase the production of both goods, so we need to sacrifice one good if we want to increase the production of the other.

A straight line downward sloping frontier means that the opportunity cost of production is constant. This means that the resources are perfectly substitutable in the production of two goods. So throughout the production process, the marginal opportunity of producing each additional unit will remain constant.

A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by upper c equals 0.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.

Explanation:

Differentiation Formula

$\frac{d}{dx}(x^n)= nx^{n-1}$
$\frac{d}{dx}(a)=0$ [ where a is a constant]
$\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n)=a \frac{d}{dx}(x^n)= anx^{n-1}$

Given that,

A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by

$c=0.2x^2+10,000$ .

Again given that,

the rate of changing production is 13 unit per month

i.e $\frac{dx}{dt}=13$

To find the cost per month, we need to find out the value $\frac{dc}{dt}$ when production is changing at the rate 13 units per month and the production is 70 units.
