Use the following to answer questions :
Figure: Production Possibilities and Circular-Flow Diagram
-(Figure: Production Possibilities and Circular-Flow Diagram) Look at the figure Production Possibilities and Circular-Flow Diagram. Assume the two figures represent the same economy. Suppose that in the circular-flow diagram capital that used to flow to firms producing coconuts now flows to firms producing fish. This adjustment in the economy would be best represented in the production possibilities figure by a move from point A toward:
A)point A (no movement).
B)point B (a decrease in coconut production and an increase in fish production).
C)point C (a decrease in coconut production).
D)point D (an outward shift of the entire curve).

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capital flowing to firms producing fish instead of coconuts indicates a shift in resources towards the production of fish. This means that the economy will produce less coconuts and more fish, resulting in a move from point A towards point B in the production possibilities figure. Point B represents a decrease in coconut production and an increase in fish production.
