Giving reason comment on the shape of Production Possibilities curve based on the following schedule :
| Good X (units | Good Y (units) |
| 0 | 30 |
| 1 | 27 |
| 2 | 21 |
| 3 | 12 |
| 4 | 0 |
उत्तर
Marginal opportunity cost is as follows:
| Good X (units) |
Good Y (units) |
MOC = `"ΔY"/"ΔX"` |
| 0 | 30 | - |
| 1 | 27 | 3/1 = 3 |
| 2 | 21 | 6/1 = 6 |
| 3 | 12 | 9/1 = 9 |
| 4 | 0 | 12/1 = 12 |
The above schedule clearly states that the production of Good X increases from Unit 1 to Unit 2, and correspondingly, the units of Good Y forgone is 3. While the production of Good X increases from Unit 2 to Unit 3, 6 units of Good Y are forgone. With each additional unit of production of Good X, the amount of Good Y to be forgone increases. So, because of increasing opportunity cost, the production possibility curve (PPC) is concave to the origin.
