Suppose South Africa produces two types of goods: alfalfa and construction vehicles. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier (also known as the production possibilities curve) for alfalfa and construction vehicles. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of an immigration law that results in fewer workers entering the country. Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.   PPF080160240320400480300250200150100500CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES (Thousands)ALFALFA (Millions of bushels)PPF
