M
True or False, if false, explain why: An increase in prices across a nation will lead to an increase in that
nation's PPC.
False. Higher prices do not lead to an increase in productive capacity. Factors that could increase the PPC include a larger labor force, improved technology, greater access to natural resources, an increase in the number of capital goods, and increased productivity of resources.
