Figure 1-7 shows the production possibilities boundary for an economy that produces two goods-cotton and bananas.

Short description: A graph plots tonnes of bananas against tonnes of cotton. Long description: The horizontal axis representing tonnes of bananas (x) ranges from 0 to 400, in increments of 100. The vertical axis representing tonnes of cotton (y) ranges from 0 to 1500, in increments of 500. The graph shows a curve that passes through the following points: A (0, 1500), B (100, 1440), C (200, 1280), D (300, 920), E (360, 500), and F (400, 0).
