The curve is called production possibilities frontier or curve. Properties
PPF slope downwards from left to right.
It is because to produce more quantity of one good, some quantity of other good has to be sacrificed because resources are limited.
PPF is Concave
This implies that slope of the curve (i.e. marginal rate of transformation) increases as we move along the curve from left to right. MRT increases because no resource is equally efficient in production of all goods, so that to obtain more quantity of one good, the quantity of the other good is sacrificed at an increasing rate.

In an economy, if initial investments are increased by ₹ 100 crores, discuss the working of investment multiplier presuming marginal propensity to consume is 0.8.
Suppose that for a particular economy, investment is equal to 200, government purchases are 150, net taxes (that is lump-sum taxes minus transfers) is 100 and consumption is given by C = 100 + 0.75Y,
What is the level of equilibrium income?
Calculate the value of the government expenditure multiplier and the tax multiplier.
If government expenditure increases by 200, find the change in equilibrium income.
