  1. Hi there Sir/Madam, we been facing a problem trying to solve this particular question, could you please take a look and help us?

    1. An economy produces only agricultural products (x) and manufactured goods (y). A quarter of
    the land in the country is arid and not suitable for agricultural products. Therefore, if half of the
    arid land is not used at all:
    (a) The economy could be productively efficient when the opportunity cost of x (agricultural
    products) is infinite;
    (b) The economy could be productively efficient when the opportunity cost of y (manufactured
    goods) is zero;
    (c) The economy could be productively inefficient with infinite opportunity cost for the
    production of x (agricultural products);
    (d) The economy could be productively inefficient with infinite opportunity cost for the
    production of y (manufactured goods).
