What is the opportunity cost of producing 25 more units of capital goods if this economy is currently producing at point B? b. What is the opportunity cost of producing 25 more units of consumer goods if this economy is currently producing at point B? e. What is the opportunity cost of producing 1 more unit of capital goods if this economy is currently producing at point C? d. What is the opportunity cost of producing 1 more unit of consumer goods if the economy is currently producing at point D? e. Suppose that there is a technological improvement in producing consumer goods that results in twice as many units of consumer goods being produced from the available resources in this economy. Draw the new production possibility frontier for this economy given this change. Assume that there are no changes in technology with regard to capital good production.

Figure 1 The production possibility frontier ABCDE is a production possibility frontier. It shows the different combinations of goods which can be produced if all resources are fully and efficiently utilised. The economy can produce at any point on the line. It cannot produce at G because the PPF shows the maximum that can be produced. It can produce within the PPF,05 such as at F, but less will be produced than the maximum possible.
