Transcribed Image Text:**USE FIGURE #1:**
A movement from ___ is the result of a negative technological change in plastic production.
- ○ X to W
- ○ V to X
- ○ W to Z
- ○ Z to Y

Transcribed Image Text:**FIGURE #1:**
This diagram represents a Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) model, which illustrates the trade-offs between two goods: food products (vertical axis) and plastic products (horizontal axis).
- Points W, X, Y, and Z are on the PPF curve, representing efficient production levels where resources are fully utilized.
- Point V is inside the curve, indicating inefficiency, as some resources are underutilized.
- The further the curve is from the origin, the greater the potential production level, showcasing higher efficiency or resource quantity.
**TABLE #1:**
This table outlines possible output combinations between wheat and dumplings, displaying the trade-offs inherent in dedicating resources to one product over another.
| **Possible Output Combinations** | **Wheat (in pounds)** | **Dumplings (in pounds)** |
