What is bowed-out shape, Macroeconomics

Assignment Help:

Why does a production possibilities frontier with increasing opportunity costs have a bowed-out shape?  

The curve is bowed-out because some resources are better suited for the production of one good (e.g. butter) rather than the other (e.g. guns).  And as we try to produce more and more of the other good (e.g. guns), it takes enhancing amounts of resources to do so and therefore we incur increasing opportunity costs.
