.1. Specialization and production possibilities
Suppose Spain produces only smartphones and tablets. The resources that are used in the production of these two goods are not specialized-that is, the same set of resources is equally useful in producing both tablets and smartphones
The shape of Spain's production possibilities frontier (PPF) should reflect the fact that as Spain produces more tablets and fewer smartphones, the opportunity cost of producing each additional tablet a- Decrease b- increase
The following graphs show two possible PPFs for Spain's economy: a straight-line remain The following graphs show two possible PPFs for Spain's economy: a straight-line PPF (PPF) and a bowed-out PPF (PPF2).
c- remains the same
Production possibility Frontier for equally efficient resources is linear and for linear PPF opportunity cost remains constant.
Graph 1
Graph 1 represents Spain's PPF as graph 1 has linear PPF.

Show your work! while Wisconsin for its cheese. Both NC and WI can produce both, If NC devoted all of its resources to the production of furniture, it could produce 20 furniture sets, cheese it could make 10 wheels of cheese. If WI devoted all of its resources to the...
