Why is a Production Possibility Curve concave to the origin? Explain.
✓

It is concave to the origin because of increasing MOC (MRT) i.e. in producing an additional unit of a commodity more and more units of the other commodity are to be sacrified, as no resource is not equally efficient in production of both the goods.
