Draw a production possibilities frontier for a country that produces two goods: capital goods and consumption goods. Show a point of production that will allow a country to achieve the maximum amount of future growth while still producing a small amount of consumption goods.
The figure shows the production
possibility frontier for a country.
Suppose the country is producing at
point D. What would be the
opportunity cost to move to point C?
15 thousand bottles of wine
This movement is not possible
without economic growth.
6 thousand bottles of wine
12 tons of rice
Nothing, it is a free lunch
Use the following production possibilities frontier for a country to answer the following questions.
Which point(s) are unattainable? Briefly explain why.
Point A because it is inside the production possibilities frontier.
Point E because it is outside the production possibilities frontier.
E
All the points because the production of each has an opportunity cost.
C
None of the points because they all are feasible.
Points B, C, and D because they are on the production possibilities frontier.
A
D
PPE
Consumption goods
