country will grow faster in the future? Explain verbally. Draw Kappastan's new PPF and Lambdastan's new PPF.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Define production possibility frontier.

The production possibility frontier (PPF) depicts the combinations of two goods that can be produced by a nation by using the given level of resources and technology efficiently.

Generally, a nation produces two types of goods, i.e., capital goods and consumption goods.

Capital goods are those goods which are used in the production of other goods.

Consumption goods are those goods that are used by the consumer directly to satisfy their needs.
