Explanation of Solution
The production possibility model with bowed-out and bowed-in downward sloping curve for a firm indicates that the firm is producing the combinations of two goods and such PPC will have different opportunity costs at a different point on the curve, while the PPC with constant opportunity cost will be straight and downward sloping.
When Sneedleham acquires more resources the PPC will shift outward with no change in slope because the opportunity cost remains the same for producing each good.
