Suppose a country which produces only agricultural goods and electronic goods. Both goods  use capital and labour as production inputs, however, the agricultural goods are assumed to  be more labour-intensive. On three separate graphs, draw the “original” production  possibility boundary (electronic goods on the horizontal axis, agricultural goods on the  vertical axis) and illustrate each of the following situations:  a. the country observes large increases in immigration;  b. there is a technological improvement in the production of military goods only; c. a neighbouring country threatens to invade and the country responds by devoting more  resources to military goods.
