To Determine:

Change in PPC in case of shift in production from commodity to another

Concept Introduction:

PPC - Production possibility curve depicts the maximum output possibilities for two commodities with a given set of input assuming that all inputs are efficiently used. It indicates the production possibilities of two commodities with fixed resources and it is based upon the assumption that the resources are scarce and they can be utilised for producing two commodities only, so it is important to make choice between them that what quantity of each should be produced. Increasing the output of one commodity will decrease the output of another commodity and this is the law of diminishing return.
