ECONOMICS-CONNECT PLUS ACCESS CARD, Chapter 2, Problem 1QE

In the figure, the horizontal axis represents the production of widgets and the vertical axis represents production of wadgets. As a result of an increase in the production of widgets, the point that touches the X-axis will move rightward. If the production of wadgets decreases, the point that touches the Y-axis moves downward. This will create a new production possibility curve.
