Question : Production Possibility Curve (PPC) is concave shaped because
Option 1: Marginal Rate of Transformation (MRT) is increasing.
Option 2: More of one good can be produced only by taking resources away from the production of another good.
Option 3: Both 1 and 2
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: Marginal Rate of Transformation (MRT) is increasing.
Solution : Production Possibility Curve is concave to the origin because Marginal Rate of Transformation (MRT) is increasing. Hence, the correct option is 1.
Question : Why does Production Possibility Curve slope downward?
Option 1: More of one good can be produced only by taking resources away from the production of another good.
Option 2: Less of one good can be produced only by taking resources away from the production of another good.
Option 3: More of one good can not be produced only by taking resources away from the production of another good.
Question : The other name of Production Possibility Curve is _____________.
Option 1: Production Possibility Boundary
Option 2: Transformation Curve
Option 3: Transformation Boundary
Option 4: All of the above
Question : The indifference curve's slope is calculated using:
Option 1: Marginal Rate of Substitution
Option 2: Marginal Opportunity Cost
Option 3: Marginal Rate of Transformation
Option 4: None of these
Question : Statement 1: The marginal rate of transformation (MRT) measures the rate at which one good can be exchanged for another along the PPC.
Statement 2: The MRT is constant along the entire PPC.
Option 1: Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.
Option 2: Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.
Option 3: Both statements 1 and 2 are true.
Option 4: Both statements 1 and 2 are false.
