Consider an economy which uses all its resources to produce national security and consumer goods. Draw a PPF for this economy. Is the PPF convex and concave? Explain
Suppose an economy uses two resouces (labor and capital) to produce two goods (wheat and cloth). Capital is relatively more useful in producing cloth, and labor is relatively more useful in producing wheat.  If the supply of capital falls by 10 persent and the supply of labor increases by 10 percent, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?
( a) why is the slop of PPF downward? (b)  why does  the PPF look concave to the origin? (c) What is positive economic analysis?
