### Understanding Production Possibilities**Use the following table to answer the question below:**| Jorge's Production Possibilities Schedule ||----------------------------|----------------------------|| **Pounds of Green Beans** | **Pounds of Corn** || 0 | 320 || 20 | 240 || 40 | 160 || 60 | 80 || 80 | 0 |Jorge's production possibilities schedule demonstrates that:**Multiple Choice**- ⃝ there is no trade-off between corn and green beans.- ⃝ green beans do not have a trade-off with corn, but corn has a trade-off with green beans.- ⃝ green beans have a trade-off with corn, but corn does not have a trade-off with green beans.- ⃝ both corn and green beans require a trade-off.**Explanation of Table:**The table represents the production possibilities schedule for Jorge, showcasing different combinations of production quantities for green beans and corn. This table illustrates the trade-offs between producing green beans and corn, where increasing the output of green beans results in a decrease in the output of corn and vice versa. This concept highlights the principle of opportunity cost, demonstrating the cost of foregone alternatives when one option is chosen over another.From the given data:- Producing 0 pounds of green beans enables the production of 320 pounds of corn.- Producing 20 pounds of green beans reduces the available quantity of corn to 240 pounds.- Producing 40 pounds of green beans reduces the available quantity of corn to 160 pounds.- Producing 60 pounds of green beans reduces the available quantity of corn to 80 pounds.- Producing 80 pounds of green beans reduces the available quantity of corn to 0 pounds.This schedule clearly indicates that both corn and green beans require a trade-off in their production, emphasizing the nature of limited resources and the necessity to make choices based on comparative advantage.

But as shopkeepers turn off lights and pull down metal grates, the windows of Mario’s restaurant glow yellow. Inside you can see old paintings of Italy’s most famous places, from the Blue Grotto to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. “Some customers have told me they don’t like the paintings,” says owner Joe Migliucci.
