Practicing Success
Assume there are only two goods produced in the economy (having fixed amount of resources and technology), Good A and Good B. The quantities of Good A and Good B which can be produced using given resources are plotted on a graph with good A on x-axis and Good B on y-axis. Different combinations of A and B when plotted and joined gave a downward sloping concave curve. One point, Point F lies above the curve. Point E lies below the curve. |
The curve gives the _______ of Good A that can be produced in the economy for any given amount of Good B and vice-versa. Which of the following options suits best in the above blank? |
Maximum amount Minimum amount Optimum amount Exact amount |
Maximum amount |
All points on Production Possibility Curve (PPF) means that resources are fully utilized. Since the resources are being utilized fully, PPF shows the maximum amount of a good that can be produced with a given amount of another good. |
