Question

the slope of the production d. When looking at a production possibilities boundary any point that is outside the boundary demonstrates possibilities boundary demonstrates

Answer 1

1^st box: not attainable

2^nd box: negative

3^rd box: resources are fully employed and attainable

Explanations:

Not attainable: if a point is outside the boundary, that can’t be achieved because of limitation of resources, like technological backwardness.

Negative: the slope of production possibility curve is negative, indicating a sacrifice of production in order to get the other production. It happens because of scarcity of resources.

Resources are fully employed and attainable: it happens if the point is on the production possibility curve. The negative slope indicates full utilization of resources.
