Under what conditions is the production possibilities frontier linear?

under what conditions an econoy would be operating inside its production possibility frontier?


Why is product possibility curve linear?

The production possibility curve is not always linear, in fact, it is usually concave down (bowed-in). The shape of the curve depends on the substutability of the goods described by the curve in the question. When goods are perfectly substitutable in production, the PPP (or PPF) is linear.


What are the conditions under which an isoquant will not be convex?

Linear isoquant [perfect substitutability of factors of production], Input-output isoquant or Leontif isoquant [no substitution or strict complementarity; only one efficient method of production] are exceptions to isoquant convexity to the origin. Kinked isoquant is of limited substitutability at kinks. But if kinks come closer and closer, it will become a smooth curve, convex to the origin.


Why are goods and services counted in GDP at market price.are there any disadvantage in using market price tonieasure production?

The intention of the measurement is to capture the value of the total production, which would be market price as estimated by the mechanisms in place to monitor and report GDP, A disadvantage is that it can over or understate true GDP if there is a change in market conditions for some subset of production that does not have another co-linear variable to adjust after the fact.


Benefits of linear programming?

Linear programming, especially in economics is vital for being able to make accurate estimates of goods output, costs and stock levels needed to carry out certain tasks. It is best to assume that the conditions do not change drastically.

How can you apply linear equatoion to business?

Linear equations can used in many areas. They are particularly useful in determining the most economical delivery patterns in trucking and in distribution. They are also used to establish the most effective patterns for production line loading in large scale production

How can a line be linear and nonlinear?

Two possibilities: The line is linear over some of its length and then goes non-linear (or the other way round: Think of a mass, at the end of a string, being swung in a circle. Then the string is cut. The motion of the mass would have been circular (lon-linear) until the instant the string was cut and then linear, as it flies off into a tangent. Or The line is linear from one perspective but not from another: Think of the trajectory of a ball that is thrown up at an angle to the horizon. If seen from above, the ball travels in a straight line (linear) but if seen from the side it follows a parabola (non-linear). Hope that helps.
