A production possibilities curve indicates the maximum combinations of goods and services an economy can produce given its available resources and technology.
A point on a nation's production possibilities curve represents the full employment of resources to achieve a particular combination of goods and services
the production possibilities curve illustrates which two of the following essential principles? scare resources and opportunity cost
according to the law of increasing opportunity costs, greater production of one good requires increasingly larger sacrifices of other goods
If the united states decides to convert automobile factories to tank production, as it did during World WarII, but finds that some auto manufacturing facilities are not well suited to tank production, then increasing opportunity costs will occur with greater tank production
If North Korea is currently producing at efficiency, and it proceeds to increase the size of its military, then, as long as nothing else changes, its production of nonmilitary goods will decrease
in terms of the production possibilities curve, inefficiency is represented by all points inside the curve
a technological advance would best be represented by a shift outward of production possibilities curve
which of the following events would allow the production possibilities curve to shift outward? more teenagers enter the labor force
which of the following is not a basic decision that all nations must confront? should we have economic growth?
