Darian and Ivan have been friends since college. They started a limousine rental business from scratch. They are now contemplating opening their business in Baltimore a new city for their business. They have crunched the numbers and discover it would mean adding $2 million more in expenses, and their profit would increase by $250,000 each year for the next 5 years (all other things equal). Darian and Ivan decide

A to not open in a new city because the marginal costs prove to be too high.

B to take on the new location of Baltimore because the expected marginal benefit is greater than the estimated marginal cost.

C to open in a second city because the marginal cost of the new location is low compared to other similar projects.

B because producing more of one thing also leads to producing more of another.

C because otherwise resources are idle.

The production possibilities model shows an inverse relationship between the amount of one thing and the amount of something else that can be produced because

A the opportunity cost of producing more of something will fall.

B production of different types will compete for limited resources.

C of diminishing returns.
