Because when one produces one product, the opportunity cost of the other product increases i.e. the concave represents the increasing opportunity cost with the production of a good.

Why does a production possibilities curve have a bowed-out shape?

The PPF is bowed outwards (concave to the origin) as tradeoffs between the production of any two goods are constant.


Law of increasing opportunity costs reflected in a PPC is concave to the origin?

The Law of Increasing Opportunity Cost that is shown in a Production Possibilities Curve is concave to the origin. This is because it shows the maximum gain of two products used in production.

What condition must exist for the production possibilities curve to be concave to the origin?

A production possibilities curve (PPC) is concave to the origin when the opportunity cost of producing one good increases as more of that good is produced. This typically occurs due to the law of increasing opportunity costs, which suggests that resources are not perfectly adaptable for the production of different goods. As production shifts from one good to another, increasingly less efficient resources must be utilized, leading to a bowed-out shape of the curve. This reflects the trade-offs and the diminishing returns associated with reallocating resources.


Is the United States on the production possibilities curve?

no


What does the production possibilities curve describes?

The production possibility curve is an analytical tool that is u to explain,analyse and justify the problem as regards the choices in the allocation of productive resources to achieve a given level of output in an hypothetical way. It is based on a short run period is production where some factors are held constant and the otthers can be varied to achieve a given level of output. The production possibility curve explains the rate of transformation between commodity (x and y) when the level of productive resources is given.the slope of the curve is concave to the origin and it touches both axis. The production possibility curve is also called production frontier or production boundary.


How does production possibilities curve differ from production possibilities frontier?

the possibility production curve show production that can be produces using minimum resources whereas the possibilty productive frointer show the attainable levls of production.

How does a production possibilities curve illustrate how efficient an economy is?

A production possibilities curve illustrates how efficient an economy is by indicating the possibly opportunities in the economy. This will also illustrate the relevant costs entailed in the production.

A point that lies outside a country's production possibilities curve mean what?

A point that lies outside a country's production possibilities curve means that the country is not able to produce. The possibility curve shows how a country can efficiently produce.
