5. Refer to the following production possibilities table for con.
sumer goods (automobiles) and capital goods (forklifts): LO1.6
a. Show these data graphically. Upon what specific assump-
tions is this production possibilities curve based?
b. If the economy is at point C, what is the cost of one more
automobile? Of one more forklift? Which characteristic of
the production possibilities curve reflects the law of increas-
ing opportunity costs: its shape or its length?
c. If the economy characterized by this production possibilities
table and curve is producing 3 automobiles and 20 forklifts,
what could you conclude about its use of its available
resources?
d. Is production at a point outside the production possibilities
curve currently possible? Could a future advance in technol-
ogy allow production beyond the current production possi-
bilities curve? Could international trade allow a country to
consume beyond its current production possibilities curve?!…
