Answer» Production possibility curve is concave to the origin. Its increasing slope shows that more and more of commodity Y (on the Y-axis) is to be sacrificed for every additional unit of commodity X, or in other words, the cost of producing additional X tends to increase in terms of the loss of Y. This is in accordance with the principle of diminishing returns or increasing cost of production. |
