A small manufacturing firm has two products

that are produced using its in house 3-D

printers. The budget and time constraints for

this process give the production possibilities

curve that is defined by the table below. If the

company is currently producing 30 units of

product A and 39 units of product B, can the

production of product B be increased?

Explain.

Product A 0 10 20 30 40 50 60

Product B 51 50 46 39 29 16 0

(1 point)

No, the point is already on the

production possibilities curve.

Yes, the production of product B

can be increased up to 51 by

decreasing the volume for

product A.

Yes, the production of product B

can be increased to whatever

value is desired.

Yes, the production of product B

can be increased up to 60 by

decreasing the volume for

product A.

From the production table, it is taken that the second option is correct, that is:

Yes, the production of product B can be increased up to 51 by decreasing the volume for product A.

-------------------------

To solve this question, we have to look at the ranges for products A and B, that is, the values they can assume.
The maximum amount of product A that can be produced is 60, when none of B is produced.

The maximum amount of product B that can be produced is 51, when none of A is produced.
Currently, 30 of A and 39 of B are produced. The amount of B can be increased until the maximum amount, which is 51, reducing A, and thus, the second option is correct.
