Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The level of production in any economy determines the GDP of an economy. Higher output implies higher GDP and per capita output.

This further leads to higher standards of living. Thus, an economy should always try to improve its production process by introducing advanced methods of production and investing in labor force skill development.

US economy should produce more and more goods and services to enjoy more high standards of living. Slowing down production would mean that the economy is not using its resources efficiently.

As shown in the graph depicting the production possibility frontier below. If the economy cuts down its production thinking that it is performing well, then from an efficient point of production A it will come down to the inefficient point of production B.
