Question

(Exhibit: Production Possibilities Curves 2) Assume that a nation is operating on production possibilities curve CD. Economic growth is best illustrated by a Select one:
a. shift from curve CD to curve AB.
b. shift from curve CD to curve EF.
c. movement from point Q to point O on the frontier CD.
d. movement from point R inside the frontier CD to point P on the frontier CD.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. shift from curve CD to curve EF.

Required Details of the Question:

The image of the curve required to answer the question has been attached.

Explanation:

A production possibilities curve shows various combinations of the amounts of two goods( in this case capital and consumer goods) which can be produced within the given resources and a graphical representation showing all the possible options of output for the two products that can be produced using all factors of production.

Now the growth of an economy is best illustrated in the image by the shift from curve CD to curve EF, this means that as the nation's production capacity increases, its production possibilities curve shift outward showing an increase in production of both goods.
