Answer:
A. supply curve shifts to the left
Explanation:
An increase in the prices of inputs from $4 to $6 shows economic problems that include a reduction in capital stock, labor, and an increased unemployment rate. This can also give room for inflation.
This increase shows that due to shortage in labor supply, it now costs more to produce a product.
Due to all the above mentioned reasons, the supply curve of both long run and short run supply curves shifts left.
Cheers.
Answer:
PPF : Downward Sloping Straight Line
Explanation:
PPF is the locus of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.
It is downward sloping : Because of inverse relationship between two goods- if one has to be increased other has to be decreased , because of same resources & technology.
Marginal Opportunity Cost (Slope of PPC): is ratio of a good sacrifised to gain each additional unit of the other good.
∆ Good sacrifised / ∆ Good gained
If this ratio is same i.e constant amount of a good is sacrifised to gain an additional amount of the other one , the slope of PPC is constant & it is a straight line
Eg : Good1 Good2 MOC [∆Good2/∆Good1]
0 20 _
10 10 -10/10 = -1 (10-20)/(10-0)
20 0 -10/10 = -1 (0-10)(/20-10)
So , same (1) good 2 is sacrifised to attain a good 1 each time.
However Generally: MOC is increasing , because of assumption that resources are unequally efficient in various goods production - shifting good from efficient to inefficient increases sacrifise each time. This makes PPC usually concave.

This can bring in a lot of divide among the people of the same country and it can get worse when the concept get more narrowed.</span>
