The marginal benefit curve is:
a. upsloping because of increasing marginal opportunity costs.
b. upsloping because successive units of a specific product yield less and less extra benefit.
c. downsloping because of increasing marginal opportunity costs.
d. downsloping because successive units of a specific product yield less and less extra benefit.

D. downsloping because successive units of a specific product yield less and less extra benefit.

Explanation:

This has to do with diminishing marginal productivity which causes that marginal costs to increase.

In true, close to 0 production, marginal costs decrease and marginal benefit curve increases. But because of diminishing marginal productivity, it (marginal costs curve) soons reaches a min and start increasing, which causes the marginal benefit curve to decrease

answer; (1) blank; decreases; ///blank(2) increases; ///blank(3)increases;

a recipe serves 8 people, and calls for 5 lbs of apples and 2 cups of flour. you want to prepare it for 24 people. divide 24 by 8 to get 3, and then multiply your ingredients by 3.

so for 24 people, you'll need 15 lbs of apples, and 6 cups of flour.
