Why is a production possibilities frontier typically drawn as a curve, rather than a straight line?
In choosing a production technology, how will firms react if one input becomes relatively more expensive?
Based on your answers to the WipeOut Ski Company in Exercise 7.3, now imagine a situation where the firm produces a quantity of 5 units that it sells for a price of 25 each. What will be the companys profits or losses? How can you tell at a glance whether the company is making or losing money at this price by looking at average cost? At the given quantity and price, is the marginal unit produced adding to profits?
