Respuesta :

Answer:

B. The firm believes in maintaining a certain amount of excess capacity to meet unexpected changes in demand.

Explanation:

Production possibility curve shows the different combinations of two products that can be manufactured by a business. The production possibility frontier is the maximum combination of products a business can produce with given resources.

Beyond this point increase in production of one will lead to decreased production of the other.

So if excess stock of both products is being kept in anticipation of demand, the company is still operating within its PPF and has excess resources.
