Economy produces 2 goods X and Y what pattern in the table gives
rise to the concave shape of ppf
X =0 ,1,2,3,4,5
Y=100,95,85,70,50,25
I was not able to show it as a table so i kept comma's in
between

PPC is concave to origin This is because of the increasing
opportunity cost i e in accordance with the law of increasing

Point A, shows that if all the resources are utilised in the
production of the Y, then 100 units of consumer goods can be
produced with zero units of X As we move downwards along the PPC
from left to right (i e from A to E), we observe that in order to
produce more units of X, the economy must sacrifice some amount of
Y For example, movement from point B to point C implies that the
economy is diverting resources from the production of Y to the
production of X In order to produce one additional unit of X, the
economy needs to sacrifice ten units of Y Thus, the opportunity
cost of producing one additional unit of X is ten units of Y
