- Suppose an economyuses two resorces (labor and capital) to produce two goods (wheat and cloth). Captial is relativley more useful in prducing cloth, and labor ir relativley more useful in prducing wheat. If the supply of cpatial falls by 10% and the suppy of labor increases by 10%, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?arrow_forward3.

- Question 16 The fact that the PPF usually bows away from the origin implies that O getting more of one good means getting less of another good. as the production of any good increases, there is a decrease in the opportunity cost of producing it. O getting more of one good means getting more of another good. as the production of any good increases, there is an increase in the opportunity cost of producing it.arrow_forward1arrow_forwardwhich seems to be correct?arrow_forward
