Answer to Question 1

A bowed production possibility curve indicates increasing opportunity costs. To produce more of one good, resources must be taken away from producing another good. These resources often are specialized. This implies that the resources cannot move easily from producing one good to another. The more of a good that is produced, the more it must use resources that are better suited for the other good, and the extra costs of producing another unit of the good increase.

Answer to Question 2

B
