Question

The community of Desertville traditionally produces a large number of tires and a small amount of kiwi fruit. Kiwis are become increasingly popular, and Desertville has decided to expand kiwi cultivation and decrease tire manufacturing. According to the law of increasing costs,

the cost of producing kiwis will increase.cision

Answer 1

The answer is TRUE.

According to the law of increasing costs, the cost of producing kiwis will increase.

Explanation:

The law of increasing costs states that as more factors of production are shifted from making one product or service to a second product or service, the cost of producing the second item increases.

As we can see in the scenario given above, the community of Desertville initially produced a small amount of Kiwi fruit. But as kiwis became more popular, its cultivation had to be expanded, therefore, increased costs would be incurred in the process of this expansion.
