How can production possibilities frontier explain law of increasing opportunity cost?

The shape of the curve is convex to the origin which shows increasing opportunity cost. Consider the changes in reduction of one good's output as production of the other good is increased by the same amount. as the reduction progresses it will become greater due to steeper gradient.

∙ 12y agoProduction possibility curve is literally a circular curve. Therefore, as the point along the curve move closer to the axis, the slope increases (on vertical axis) and decreases (on vertical axis) what this means is that as the point gets closer to producing only one good (since 2 axis are 2 competing goods), you need to give up more of the other good just to get a small increase in the good you want to produce i.e. an increase in opportunity cost.

What is the purpose of the production possibilities frontier?
The purpose of the production possibilities frontier is that a combination of goods produced will utilize full quality. And also, the production of goods are cannot be increased without increasing its quality.
A popular model used to illustrate the concept of opportunity cost is?
The Production Possibilities frontier/curve
What tool helps a producer set up an efficient system of production?
a production possibilities frontier graph
What line that shows different production possibilities for an economy?
production possibilities frontier
Why the production possibilities frontier graph is in curve?
the increasing costs resulting in increasingly less outputIt means underutilization of resources.

A production possibilities frontier with a bowed outward shape indicates?
A production possibilities frontier with a bowed outward shape indicates an increase in opportunity costs as more and more of one good is produced. Some resources are more specialized towards specific tasks.
Illustrate on Production Possibility Frontier diagram if the economy experiences a technological boom?
In economics, the production possibility frontier (the PPF, also called the production possibilities curve (PPC) or the "transformation curve") is a graph that depicts the trade-off between any two items produced. It indicates the opportunity cost of increasing one item's production in terms of the units of the other forgone.

What are the effects of discrimination in the production possibilities frontier?
The effects of discrimination in the production possibilities frontier is that a given business does not fulfill its ful potential.
Society's production possibilities frontier is based on?
simplifying assumptions, but is still useful for illustrating scarcity, opportunity cost, and economic growth.
