A 0 100 -- --
B 10 95

- Opp. Cost of Machines.
- MRT.
II) Using the data in the table, graph the PPF (with machines on the horizontal axis).
III) Does the principle of “increasing opportunity cost” hold in this nation? Explain briefly.
IV) If this country chooses to produce more machines than food, what will happen to the PPF
over time? Explain.
