Question:
Below, you are provided four points that lie alongCanada'sProduction Possibilities Frontier between sweaters and shirts. You will use this information to constructCanada's PPF, and to examine how the opportunity cost ofproducing an additionalunit of each good changes as you move along Canada's PPF.

Part 3: Suppose that Canada increases its production of sweaters from 90 sweaters to 180 sweaters. What is the opportunity cost of producing an additional sweater?
Part 4: Does Canada's production of sweaters experience constant or increasingopportunity costs?
Part 5: Suppose that Canada increases its production of shirts from 90 shirts to 150 shirts. What is the opportunity cost of producing an additional shirt?
Part 6: Suppose that Canada increases its production of shirts from 150 shirts to 180 shirts. What is the opportunity cost of producing an additional shirt?
Part 7: Does Canada's production of shirts experience constant or increasingopportunity costs?
