The details ofthe economy and its production is as follows: Motor Bike (1000 / year) Milk (1000 gallons per year) 0 601 502 303 0 d) According to the (BGH) technology, farmers can now get double the amount of milk fromcows easily. In terms of PPF, this means Korean economy can now produce twice milk ateach level of bike output. With the current production of 2000 motor bikes, Mr. B claimsthat this new technology can allow this economy to produce more milk and more bikes.
