Answer:
a, The PPF intersect the Y-axis at 1000 units of luxury goods
The PPF intersect the X-axis at 500 units of necessity good
It means that when the society produces zero units of necessity, it can produce 1000 units of luxury goods and if they use all resources to produce necessity, they can produce 500 units only
b. The economy can produce at a point inside the curve IF (1) There is underutilized of the available resources. (2) There is inefficiency in the use of resources

It can operate inside the curve which means under-utilization of resources or inefficiency in resources utilization. A country cannot operate outside the curve except there is technological progress or economic growth.

Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
The central bank have various tools to apply expansionary policy and these tools are :
- Reserve ratio.
- Discount rate.
- Open market operations.
The open market operations include the buying and selling of government owned securities by central bank to impact the monetary base in the economy. In case of any recession, the central bank should purchase government securities to enhance the money supply. Because whenever they do any kind of open market purchase there would definitely be increase in money in the economy. That's why increment in money supply decrease the interest rate in economy.
Nominal interest rate is the cost of borrowing so if there is decrement in interest rate, there would be consumption and investment activities. these both are the component of aggregate demand so the aggregate demand will increase, and this increment in aggregate demand helps the economy to recover in the situation of recession.
