The following diagram shows its current production possibilities curve (also known as the production possibilities curve) for alfalfa, an agricultural good, and cars, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities curve (PPC) on the graph to show the effects of an agricultural innovation that increases the crop yield of each hectare of land. 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.
