a. Utopia's opportunity cost of producing additional steel is 50 pounds of coffee. b. Utopia's production must have been productively inefficient in 1998. c. Utopia's opportunity cost of producing additional steel is 1/2 pound of coffee per ton of steel. d. Utopia's opportunity cost of producing additional coffee is 100 tons of steel. e. The production point in 1998 was unattainable given then-current resources and technology.
