The opportunity cost of producing an additional 4 million pieces of clothing (that is, moving production to point B) is [Select] tons of steel. Suppose, instead, that the economy currently produces 420 million tons of steel and 16 million pieces of clothing, which is represented by point B. Now the opportunity cost of producing an additional 4 million pieces of clothing (that is, moving to point C) is [Select] tons of steel.
