00:01 Explain how each of the following situations would affect a nation's production possibilities curve.

00:06 A law is passed which make community college tuition free for all u .s.

00:09 Citizens.

00:11 So let's go over what the production possibilities curve is.

00:14 It's a graph that shows all of the different combinations of output that can be produced given current resources and technology.

00:22 So the production possibilities curve looks like this.

00:38 So we'll have, for example, resources on one axis and technology.

00:45 On the other.

00:47 The production possibilities curve can change based off of what we are looking at being produced specifically.

00:54 And each point on the curve represents a combination of x and y in which we are using all of the resources and technology that we have available.

01:17 X and y can be any kind of resource depending on what specific good we're talking about.

01:28 So for the first one, a law is passed which makes community college tuition free for all u .s.

01:35 Citizens.

01:36 So in this case, education is free, so we're going to get more workers with higher education.

02:02 So education, we could think of as a resource which would be able to be used to produce something.

02:18 So therefore, we have an outward shift.

02:21 We're going to be able to produce more.

02:27 For the next one, in uninspectedly mild spring results in a bumper crop of citrus fruits in both florida and california.

02:38 This means that there was an unusually productive harvest...
