As more of a good, such as television sets, is produced, the opportunity costs of producing it increases. This most likely occurs because O a. as more of a good is produced the quality of that good declines and therefore the costs of production increase. O b. resources are not equally well suited to producing all goods and as more of a good is produced it is necessary to use resources less well suited to the production of that good. as more of a good is produced the inputs used to produce that good will increase in price. d. consumers would be willing to pay higher prices for the good as more of the good is produced.

Can economic analysis provide a final answer to the question of whether the government should intervene in markets by imposing price ceilings and price floors? Why or why not? O A. Economic analysis can provide such an answer because it seeks to address both positive and normative questions such as "what is" and "what ought to be." O B. Economic analysis cannot provide such an answer because it seeks to address positive questions such as "what is." OC.
