According to the figure,a new technology that makes it easier to peel,core,and prepare apples will cause
A) the entire production possibilities frontier (PPF)to shift outward.
B) the entire production possibilities frontier (PPF)to shift inward.
C) the production possibilities frontier (PPF)to rotate outward to a larger maximum quantity of apple pies with no change in maximum blueberry pies.
D) the production possibilities frontier (PPF)to rotate outward to a larger maximum quantity of blueberry pies with no change in maximum apple pies.
E) the production possibilities frontier (PPF)to stay exactly the same because there is no change in resources.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This technology specifically improves the efficiency of apple processing, thus increasing the potential output of apple-related products (like apple pies) without affecting the production capabilities for unrelated products (like blueberry pies). Therefore, the PPF for apple pies will rotate outward, indicating a higher maximum production possibility for apple pies while the production possibilities for blueberry pies remain unchanged.
