8. Economic growth The following graph shows the production possibilities curve (also known as the production possibilities frontier) of an economy that produces cars and computers. Suppose that a rise in this economy's saving rate allows for investment in modern, efficient manufacturing plants. Adjust the production possibilities curve (PPC) to show the economy's new production possibilities after the rise in the saving rate. 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. QUANTITY OF CARS (Mor) 24 PPC 5 10 QUANTITY OF COMPUTERS (Mor) 15 Suppose society faces a broad tradeoff between allocating resources to the production of investment goods (computers) and consumption goods (cars) before the rise in the saving rate described above. Which of the following events…

Given the following diagram of a production possibilities frontier for a country. Assume that this country produces only two types of goods, capital goods (K) and consumer goods (C). (Graph is not drawn to scale.) CAPITAL GOODS (K) LACO,250) B(409200) c C200, ISo) D (300, l00) E(GO0,0) CONSUMER 600as (C) e. Suppose that there is a technological improvement in producing consumer goods that results in twice as many units of consumer goods being produced from the available resources in this economy. Draw the new production possibility frontier for this economy given this change. Assume that there are no changes in technology with regard to capital good production.
