3. What is the opportunity cost of raising timber revenue from one thousand to two thousand dollars?
4. What is the opportunity cost of raising timber revenue from three thousand to four thousand dollars?
5. Why does the opportunity cost change? Explain using the technical knowledge you learned in this chapter.
6. Share one of your experience involving opportunity cost.
