Answer 1

Answer:

The country would have to;

A improve technology in the future

Explanation:

A production possibilities frontier is a curve the shows the relationship between the varying amounts of two products that can be produced if the products depend on the same limited resources for their production. It is also used in economics to illustrates the point where the economy's production reaches the most efficient level in terms of the choice of goods it decides to produce and the ones it decide to trade from other countries to satisfy it's needs.

To understand the production possibilities frontier, one needs to know that it is the point where the production of goods and services are efficient due to an effective allocation of resources. When the country is operating below the production possibilities frontier, it means that they are not yet efficient in terms of production and resource allocation therefor they can still improve on resource allocation and production methods. A country that is operating on the production possibilities frontier is operating at it's peak efficiency in terms of production and allocation of resources. For an economy to move beyond it's production possibilities frontier, the technology has to be improved in the future.
