Suppose Russia produces only cars and trucks. 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 trucks and cars.   The shape of Russia's production possibilities frontier (PPF) should reflect the fact that as Russia produces more trucks and fewer cars, the opportunity cost of producing each additional truck _______?   The following graphs show two possible PPFs for Russia's economy: a straight-line PPF (PPF1PPF1) and a bowed-out PPF (PPF2PPF2). Based on the previous description, the trade-off Russia faces between producing trucks and cars is best represented by _____?
