What are the other names for production possibility curve?
other names for production possibility curve are: production possibility boundary production possibility frontier transformation curve.
Why is the production possibility curve bowed out from the origin of the curve?
Diminishing Marginal returns to capital and labor.
Why does a production possibility curve have a downward sloping curve?
PPC curve slopes downward for the efficient resouress of another commidty
What is a production possibility frontier curve?
Basically the PPC represents the hypothetical amount of two different goods that could be obtained by using resources from the production of one for the production of the other. It also describes society's choice between two different goods. When a point is on the curve it means all the resources for those goods is at full employment, anything under the curve is at under-employment, and anything beyond the curve indicates potential growth.
What is the difference between straight line production possibility curve and a bowed out production possibility curve?
When a prod poss curve is a straight line, usually it is an exception, this means that as you produce more of one thing you constantly give up the same proportion of another thing as the scenario would be that the factors of production are 100% mobile. With a bowed out prod poss curve, usually called normal, the situation would be that as you produce more of product A you give up alot of B but eventually the rate of substitution begins to decline due to lack in factor efficiency and so the curve becomes less elasstic. Hope this answeres your question. all the best,
