Is the United States on the production possibilities curve?
no
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.
What assumptions determine the production possibilities curve?
Assumptions to determine the PPC is:only 2 goods will be illustratedthe amount of resources is fixedstate of technology is constant
What are the other names for production possibility curve?
other names for production possibility curve are: production possibility boundary production possibility frontier transformation curve.
Explain why a production possibilities curve is concave?
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.
Production possibilities frontiers curve when they are charted on a graph because they show?
the increasing costs resulting in increasingly less output
If the law of increasing opportunity costs is reflected in a production possibilities curve which is?
production possibilities curve convex to the origin. Elson Mendoza was here.
Is the United States on the production possibilities curve?
no
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.
Is the outward curve of the production possibilities curve good or bad?
it really good
Is the production possibilities curve convex to the origin?
yes
Where on a production possibilities curve the economy working at its most efficient production levels?
Any point on the PPC curve
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.
What is a production possibilities frontiers?
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.
A point inside the production possibilities curve is.....?
Attainable, but the economy is inefficient.
An increase in technology will cause the production possibilities curve to?
shift outward
