Which of the following statements about point C is TRUE? O a) to produce more of product Y, some of product X has to be sacrificed. b) the economy cannot reach this point without an increase in resources or improvement in technology. c) the economy is producing efficiently. d) both (a) and (c). e) none of the above.
The phenomenon of scarcity stems from the fact that O governments restrict production of too many goods and services. O in most economies, wealthy people consume disproportionate quantities of goods and services. most economies' production methods are not very good. resources are limited.

Use the diagram below, which indicates maximum combinations of good X and good Y that can be produced with available resources, to answer the question. On production possibility curve AC Good Y B A 0 OF E Good X C O A. output combination A and C represents less efficient resource use than either D or E. O B. output combination D represents the most efficient use of resources. O C. output combinations A, D, E and C all represent full and efficient resource use. O D. output combinations D and E represent full and efficient use of resources, but A, C and F represent inefficient resource use.
Which of the following is correct about the production possibilities curve? An economy can produce only on the production possibilities frontier line given its current available resources and technology. O An economy can produce at any point inside or outside the production possibilities frontier given its current available resources and technology. O An economy can produce at any point inside the production possibilities frontier, but not on the frontier without discovery of new resources or technology or real economic growth. O An economy can produce at any point on or inside the production possibilities frontier, but not outside the frontier without discovery of new resources or technology or real economic growth. O An economy can produce at any point on or inside the production possibilities frontier, but government price controls are needed for economy to produce beyond the frontier line.

Wendy is splitting her time during a week between writing essays and outlining book chapters. One of the efficient ways for Wendy to allocate her time is to write 5 essays and outline 2 chapters during a week. It must be true that: 3 essays and 5 chapter outlines would be unattainable. 4 essays and 3 chapter outlines would be both attainable and efficient. 4 essays and 0 chapter outlines would be unattainable. O 2 essays and 3 chapter outlines would be efficient.
