Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Table 1**
**Production choices for Billie’s Bedroom Shop**
| Choice | Quantity of Pillows Produced | Quantity of Blankets Produced |
|--------|-----------------------------|-------------------------------|
| A | 36 | 0 |
| B | 27 | 7 |
| C | 18 | 14 |
| D | 9 | 21 |
| E | 0 | 28 |
**Refer to Table 1.** Assume Billie's Bedroom Shop only produces pillows and blankets. A combination of 5 pillows and 21 blankets would appear:
- ○ along Billie's production possibilities frontier.
- ● inside Billie's production possibilities frontier.
- ○ outside Billie's production possibilities frontier.
- ○ at the vertical intercept of Billie's production possibilities frontier.
**Explanation:**
The table outlines different production choices for Billie’s Bedroom Shop, which only manufactures pillows and blankets. Each choice represents a different allocation of production resources between the two goods, demonstrating the trade-offs and opportunity costs associated with each production level.
- **Choice A** prioritizes maximum pillow production with zero blankets.
- **Choice E** focuses entirely on blanket production with no pillows.
- Choices B, C, and D illustrate various mixed production possibilities.
The options provided in the question relate to the concept of the production possibilities frontier (PPF). A combination of 5 pillows and 21 blankets is considered "inside" Billie's PPF, indicating underutilized resources or inefficiency in production.
