A small manufacturing firm has two products that are produced using its in house 3-D printers. The budget and time constraints give the production possibilities curve that is defined by the table below. If the company is currently producing 30 units of product A and 39 units of product B, can the production of product B be increased?
Product A 0 10 20 30 40 50 60
Product B 51 50 46 39 29 16 0
(1 point)
Yes, the production of product B can be increased up to 51 by decreasing the volume for product A.
No, the point is already on the production possibilities curve.
Yes, the production of product B can be increased up to 60 by decreasing the volume for product A.
Yes, the production of product B can be increased to whatever value is desired.

Yes — the production of B can be increased up to 51 by decreasing production of A.
Explanation: the table shows the PPF points; at A = 0, B = 51 is the maximum B. Starting from (A=30, B=39) you can reduce A (e.g., to 20 or lower) to raise B (e.g., to 46 at A=20), up to 51 when A = 0.
