The accompanying PPF shows possible alternative combinations of agricultural goods and education that can be produced in a given economy in a given year. 

a. If the economy is operating efficiently and producing 14 units of agricultural production, how much education can it also produce?

b. If the economy is operating at point A, what is the cost of 3 additional units of education per year? What is the cost if the economy is operating at point B? 

c. If the economy is operating at point A, what is the approximate cost of 1 additional unit of education per year? What is the approximate cost if the economy is operating at point B? Does this PPF illustrate increasing costs of production of education?

d. If the economy is operating at point C, what is the approximate cost of 1 additional unit of agricultural production per year? What is the approximate cost if the economy is operating at point B? What is the approximate cost if the economy is operating at point A? Does this PPF illustrate increasing costs of production of agricultural goods?
