Economic growth
creates unemployment.
shifts the PPC outward.
makes it more difficult for a nation to produce on its PPC.
has no opportunity cost.
Economic growth leads to an expansion of an economy's production possibilities. This results in an outward shift of the
entire PPC, indicating that the economy can produce more of both goods.
In March 2020, a factory used new technology to produce its output. Then in July 2020, a fire destroys half the factory. The
new technology shifted the factory's PPC _____ and the fire shifted it _______.
inward; outward
outward; inward
inward; inward.
outward; outward
The introduction of new technology typically leads to increased efficiency, improved production processes, and enhanced
resource utilization. This results in an outward shift of the Production Possibility Curve (PPC), indicating that the factory can
now produce more output for the same amount of resources.
The fire that destroys half the factory's production capacity significantly reduces its available resources and capabilities. This
results in a contraction of the Production Possibility Curve (PPC), indicating a decrease in the factory's production potential
and the PPC shifts inward. The factory can now produce fewer goods and services due to the loss of resources caused by
the fire.
Question 4

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
A point inside a production possibilities curve
is unattainable.
is more efficient than points on the production possibilities curve.
could indicate that some resources are unemployed.
implies that too much capital and not enough labour are being used.
When a point is inside the PPC, it signifies that the nation is not fully utilizing its resources, resulting in production levels
below what is technically feasible. This could be due to factors such as underemployment of resources, inefficiencies in
production processes, or other constraints. As a result, the country is not achieving its maximum possible output of both
goods.
