    c. 2 units of Y.

    Explanation:

    Country A Country B

    Good X Good Y Good X Good Y

    90 0 30 0

    60 30 20 20

    30 60 10 40

    0 90 0 60

    Country B's opportunity cost to produce 10 units of X is 20 units of Y, therefore the opportunity cost to produce 1 unit of X is 2 units of Y ( = 20 / 10 = 2).

    Opportunity costs are the extra costs or lost benefits from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. In this case, if Country B decides to produce 10 units of X, it will lose 20 units of Y.
