Answer to Question 1

No. If the production possibility curve is a straight line, this would imply that the marginal rate of transformation is constant. This cannot be the case if the law of increasing opportunity costs holds.

Answer to Question 2

The expected rate of return is the annual rate of return that a firm expects to obtain through a capital investment.
