2. What is an opportunity cost of choosing to spend the day outside with friends?

4. Create a production possibilities curve for pickles and airplanes. Draw a spot at which resources are efficiently employed (A), one product impossibility (B), and one place where resources are underutilized (C).

5. A change in fuel technology allows both pickles and airplanes to be produced more cheaply and efficiently. Draw the change and indicate it with an arrow on your PPC

6. Draw a new PPC for the same 2 products and put a dot at a central point of efficiency. There has been a cucumber blight. Show how this might affect our model.
