Dave, because he must sacrifice 5 guitars to produce an extra
tuba compared to Dave's sacrifice of 4 guitars
Both since each must sacrifice 1 more tuba to move to the next point on the
production possibilities curve
O Eddie, because he produces 8 tubas compared to Dave's 5 tubas
Eddie, because he must sacrifice 4 guitars to produce an extra
tuba compared to Dave's sacrifice of 5 guitars
Dave, because he produces 5 tubas compared to Dave's 8 tubas
