The PPF is bowed outwards (concave to the origin) as tradeoffs between the production of any two goods are constant.
because the point of origin would be on an outer point and around it the walls seem to cave in making it seem concave, in comparison to a regular polygon. When checking for concave polygons always compare what you are looking at to a regular polygon
There is no shift in the PPC.Only a dot is marked within the curve(Not on the curve) in the exact center of the two axes.The shape of the PPC is concave to the origin.
Diminishing Marginal returns to capital and labor.
The production possibility curve (PPC) is a two dimensional model, showing how resources can be used to produce two different goods or services or types of good and services. The graph is bowed outwards due to a basic concept used in economics - the principle of increasing cost. If a producer were to produce more of one good or service, the constant in resources and technology would not be able to maintain the previous amount of production of the other good or service. If more of one good or service is produced, the opportunity cost of the reduction of the other good or service increases, therefore the gradient of the curve increases.
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.

yes
When there are diminishing marginal returns to factors of production, the PPF is "bowed out" from the origin.
production possibilities curve convex to the origin. Elson Mendoza was here.
The word concave is derived from the Latin word concavus, from cavus, meaning cave.
because it has increasing opportunity costs
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.
I have never heard that the demand curve must be concave. In fact, it is most often modeled as either linear or convex. Common convex specifications include log-linear and constant-elasticity demand functions. A number of empirical papers attempt to estimate the shape of the demand curve for specific products but I am not familiar with anyone concluding that demand is concave generally.
Oh, dude, PPC is concave to the origin because of the law of diminishing returns. As you produce more of one good, you have to give up more and more of the other good, which makes the curve bend inward. It's like when you eat too much pizza and eventually the joy of each additional slice starts to decline.

the increasing amounts of one commodity that a nation must give up to release just enough resources to produce each additional unit of another commodity. THis is reflected in a production frontier that is concave from the origin.
