What is the reason for the law of increasing opportunity costs?

Economic resources are not completely suited to all forms of uses, i.e. the answer lies in the specificity of resources. One resource is often more suited to the production of a certain commodity above others. For example, land is more suitable to the production of apples than the production of shirts. As we increase the shirt production, more and more land is transferred to production of shirts, where it is less suitable. Therefore, opportunity cost of producing shirts increases.


Why in a production possibilities frontier model a point inside the frontier is attainable?

A PPF is the locus of points such that all the economy's resources are used to its fullest potential. A PPF is concave to the origin because of the increasing opportunity cost to produce an additional unit of x (on the horizontal axes). A point inside the PPF is attainable because (1) there may be no full employment or (2) inspite of full employment they are used to less potential. On the contrary a point outside the PPF is not attainable because the PPF itself is the locus of the maximum attainable output given resources, the PPF may however expand due to increase in resources or their efficiency.
