According to the article of Jan 18, 2016 "several Canadians are nominated for Oscars" answer the question that What is the trade off between movies and other goods and services? How is this trade off illustrated by the production possibilities frontier? Use economic concepts to answer this question.
Explain why a movement from a point inside a production possibilities frontier to the production possibilities frontier can be described as a free lunch and a movement along a production possibilities frontier is described as a tradeoff.

What causes a production possibilities frontier to shift outward?arrow_forwardSuppose France produces two types of goods: wheat and cars. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier (also known as the production possibilities curve) for wheat and cars. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a long drought that reduces the amount of water available for farmers to use for irrigation.  Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.arrow_forwardBrian and Crystal are farmers.
