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.
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: More of one good can be produced only by taking resources away from the production of another good.
Solution : Production Possibility Curve slopes downward because more of one good can be produced only by taking resources away from the production of another good. Hence, the correct option is 1.
