When there is full and efficient utilization of resources production combination lies on the boundary of the Production Possibility Curve.

  • When there is under and inefficient utilization of resources, production combination
    lies on the left side of the Production Possibility Curve.
  • Scarcity can be shown by a point on the right hand side of the Production Possibility
    Curve.
  • The point which moves from the left side to the Production Possibility Curve, can
    increase production of both goods without opportunity cost
  • The point which moves from the Production Possibility Curve to the left, shows
    decrease utilization of resources and efficiently.
  • Production Possibility Curve can be shifted to the right due to the increase in
    capacity of production

The factors of increase in capacity of production are given below.

  • Increase in factor endowments.
  • Increase in productivity.
  • Production Possibility Curve can be shifted to left side due to the decrease in the
    capacity of production

The factors of decrease in capacity of production are given below.

  • Decrease in factor endowments.
  • Decrease in productivity.
  • Outputs received from the inputs are known as normal productivity

The following factors affect determination of productivity of the factors of production

  • Technology
  • Management
  • Human Capital
  • Division of labor and specialization

 

  • Factor productivity can be computed as follows :
    Factors Productivity = Outputs / Inputs

 

  • Productivity of the various factors of production can be computed as follows:
    Productivity of Land = Total output / Amount of land units
