1. Specialization and productio Suppose France produces only tablets and smartphones. The resources that are used in the production of these two goods are not specialized-that is, the same set of resources is equally useful in producing both smartphones and tablets. The shape of France's production possibilities frontier (PPF) should reflect the fact that as France produces more smartphones and fewer tablets, the opportunity cost of producing each additional smartphone The following graphs show two possible PPFS for France's economy: a straight-line PPF (PPF) and a bowed-out PPF (PPF2).

1. Specialization and production possibilities
Suppose France produces only tablets and smartphones. The resources that are used in the production of these two goods are not specialized-that is,
the same set of resources is equally useful in producing both smartphones and tablets.
The shape of France's production possibilities frontier (PPF) should reflect the fact that as France produces more smartphones and fewer tablets, the
opportunity cost of producing each additional smartphone
The following graphs show two possible PPFS for France's economy: a straight-line PPF (PPF1) and a bowed-out PPF (PPF2).
