d. shifts rightward, and the point at which the PPF touches the good- X axis is at 40 units of good X and the point at which the PPF touches the good-Y axis has to be something more than 60 units
Explanation:
The production possibility frontier is a curve that shows the two combinations of goods and services produced in an economy when all its resocurces are fully employed.
The production possibility frontier is downward sloping. It shows that as more of one product is produced, less of the other product would be produced.
The production possibility frontier shifts outward as a result of increase in available resources or technological advancement.
An increase in resources that can be used for the production of only good Y, shifts the ppf outward, to the right. More of good Y would he produced and the production of good X would remain unchanged.
I hope my answer helps you
B. shifts rightward, and the point at which the PPF touches the good-X axis has to be something more than 40 units of good X and the point at which the PPF touches the good-Y axis has to be something more than 60 units
Explanation:
PPF is the graphical representation of two goods combinations which an economy can produce given resources & technology.
It is downward sloping because of two goods inverse relation given same resources & technology.
The points at which PPF touches both axis represents maximum amount of that axis good which can be produced by given resources & technology , Points on PPF reflect full efficient utilisation of resources. Points inside PPF reflect underutilisation of resources. Points outside PPF reflect unattainable combinations outside economy's productive capacity, given resources & technology unless either of them grow.
Resource increase usable for production of both goods: shifts the PPF outwards/ rightwards & the maximum potential production of both goods increases. PPF touching axis points increases from pervious at each axis - more than 40 at good X axis, more than 60 at Y axis.
