Question
- A country cannot produce a mix of products with a higher value than whereA) theisovalue line is tangent to the production possibility frontier.B) theisovalue line intersects the production possibility frontier.C) theisovalue line is above the production possibility frontier.D) theisovalue line is below the production possibility frontier.E) theisovalue line is tangent with the indifference curve.
Solution
The production possibility frontier (PPF) represents the maximum amount of two goods that a country can produce given its resources and technology. The isovalue line represents combinations of two goods that have the same total value.
So, the correct answer is:
A) the isovalue line is tangent to the production possibility frontier.
Explanation:
A) The isovalue line is tangent to the production possibility frontier: The point where the isovalue line is tangent to the PPF represents the combination of goods that maximizes the total value of production given the country's resources and technology. Beyond this point, the country cannot produce a mix of products with a higher value because it would require more resources or better technology than the country currently has.
