A straight-line production possibilities boundary (PPB) indicates that the opportunity cost of each good is no matter how much of that good is produced. A PPB that is concave to the origin indicates that $a(n)$ amount of one good must be given up to produce more of the other good. f. Consider an economy producing two goods, A and B, with a PPB that is concave to the origin. As the economy produces more of good A and less of good B, its opportunity cost of producing $\mathrm{A}$
