Transcribed Image Text:**Question 19**
**Figure 2-3**
*Description of Figure 2-3:*
The graph represents a Production Possibility Frontier (PPF), which showcases the trade-offs between the production of two goods: tractors and tubas. The PPF curve demonstrates the maximum possible output combinations of the two goods an economy can produce given limited resources. Points located on the curve indicate efficient production levels, while points inside the curve indicate inefficient production, and points outside the curve are unattainable with current resources.
**Points on the Graph:**
- **I:** Positioned at the upper left end of the curve, representing maximum production of tractors and zero production of tubas.
- **N:** Positioned at the lower right end of the curve, representing maximum production of tubas and zero production of tractors.
- **K:** Positioned on the curve, representing a combination of producing both tractors and tubas efficiently.
- **L:** Positioned inside the curve, representing inefficiency as the economy is not utilizing all its resources.
- **M:** Positioned outside the curve, representing an unattainable level of production given current resources.
**Question:** At which point is this economy producing its maximum possible quantity of tubas?
**Answer Options:**
- J
- L
- M
- N
**Correct Answer:**
- **N**
