What is the relationship between opportunity cost and the slope
of the production possibilities frontier. What does it mean for the
PPF to be bowed-in, bowed-out, or linear? What does it mean to be
above, on, or below the PPF?
Explain the relationship between the bowed-out
shape of the production possibilities frontier and the increasing
opportunity cost of a good as more of it is produced? (Minimum 150

The production possibilities frontier curves show the
concepts of scarcity, choice, opportunity cost, efficiency and
economic growth. Discuss with examples.
Draw a production possibilities frontier that shows the
trade-off between production of cotton and soybeans.
Show the effect that a prolonged draught would have an effect
on the initial production possibilities frontier.
Suppose genetic modification makes soybean resistant to
insects, allowing yield to double. Show the effect of this
technological change on the initial production possibilities
frontier.
