Suppose an economyuses two resorces (labor and capital) to produce two goods (wheat and cloth). Captial is relativley more useful in prducing cloth, and labor ir relativley more useful in prducing wheat. If the supply of cpatial falls by 10% and the suppy of labor increases by 10%, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?
