Refer to the diagram. The concept of opportunity cost is best represented by the shift of the production possibilities curve from PP1 to PP2. move from C on PP1 to E on PP2. move from A on PP1 to C on PP1. move from D inside PP1 to C on PP1.

a. Draw a production possibilities curve for a hypothetical economy producing capital and consumer goods. b. Suppose a major technical breakthrough occurs in the capital goods industry and the new technology is widely adopted only in this industry. Draw the new production possibilities curve on the same set of axes as a. c. Now assume that a technological advance occurs in consumer goods production, but not in capital goods production. Draw the new production possibilities curve on the same set of axes as a and b.
Capital Goods Consumer Goods Assume the nation's current production possibilities are represented by the curve AB in the accompanying diagram. Economic decline would best be indicated by a shift in the curve from AB to CD, a shift in the curve from AB to EF, or a movement from point 2 to point 3.
