Assuming that the country is using its resources efficiently, what is the opportunity cost of producing 5 more capital goods when the country is already producing 10 capital goods? Explain.
Use the concept of an economy-wide production possibilities to explain full employment output and economic growth. Why is full employment and economic growth both important for all economies?
Ruritania produces Widgets and Gizmos. If all of its factors of production are committed to making widgets exclusively, it can make 8 million units each year. If all of its factors are committed to making Gizmos exclusively, it can make 8 million units per year.
Ruritania's Ministry of Growth has considered various plans to stimulate economic growth in the kingdom. Adjust the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the impact of a successful plan to improve the literacy rate.
