1. In case of constant opportunity cost the Production Possibility frontier will be straight line. Since, the opportunity cost of producing an additional unit of other good. Hence A straight line.
While in case of increasing opportunity cost the PPF will be bowed out. Kindly refer the attached picture below
On one of the axis we have Tomatoes and another Cereals.
2. Nominal GDP = Price of tomato×Quantity of tomato+Price of cereal × Quantity of Cereal
Nominal GDP
Nominal GDP (a) = 5*20 + 1*15 = $ 115
Nominal GDP(b) = 10*20 + 2*15 = $ 230
Nominal GDP(c) = 4*40 + 8*12 = $ 256
Nominal GDP(d) = 4*60 + 8*18 = $ 384
The price line can be determined as follows
First assume 0 unit of tomato is consumed then consumption of cereal = $ 256 /$ 8 = 32 units
When Cereal consumed is zero, then tomato consumed will be equal to $ 256/$4 = 64 units
Please contact if having any query thank you.

4. Suppose that the economy produces three goods-raisins (R), soybeans (S), and textiles (T). What would its PPF look like under conditions of constant opportunity costs? What would it look like with increasing opportunity costs? (slide no. 15)
Suppose that country A produces two goods under conditions of constant opportunity costs. Given its resources, the maximum S that it can make is 1000 units, and the opportunity cost of making T is 2 units of S. What is the maximum amount of T that it can produce? Draw a production possibility frontier (PPF) for country A.
