producing an additional 11,000 pounds of oysters?

cost of producing more and more shrimp? Does it increase, decrease, or remain constant? Explain your answer.
c. Suppose The Shellfish Shack is currently producing at point B. What happens to the opportunity
cost of producing more and more oysters? Does it increase, decrease, or remain constant? Explain your answer.
