The production possibilities curve is a graph of

Projects A and B both require an investment of $500 and generate the following cashflows in years 1-3.                   1                 2                  3 Project A             $600             $600                $600 Project B             $200              $500             $1,300   When comparing these two projects we say that they have a time-disparity.

Assume the following values as the wall lateral stiffness: Wall 1 = 9.200 k/in.    Wall 2 = 5,200 k/in.,   Wall 3 = 16,300 k/in.  Wall 4 = 2,600 k/in. Wall 5 = 7,100 k/in.    Wall 6 = 19,800 k/in. Using these values, the coordinates of the center of rigidity measured from the origin (shown on the figure) are nearly

Assume the seismic base shear is 450 kips.  The seismic lateral load at floor 2 is nearly
