प्रश्न
Answer the following question.
Why is a Production Possibility Curve concave to the origin? Explain.
उत्तर
PPC is concave to origin because of the increasing opportunity cost i.e. in accordance with the law of increasing opportunity cost. This suggests that as the production increases, to produce each additional unit of one good, more and more units of other good needs to be sacrificed. In other words, the opportunity cost increases.
