The transformation curve is derived from the

  • A.Consumption Curve
  • B.Utility Possibility Curve
  • C.Social Welfare Function
  • D.Production Contract Curve

Answer: D

The transformation curve (production possibility frontier) is derived from the production contract curve in the Edgeworth box. Every point on the contract curve is an efficient allocation of two inputs between two goods, and the output of the two goods at each point plots one point of the transformation curve. The consumption curve, utility possibility curve and social welfare function belong to the consumption or welfare side of the analysis. The slope of the transformation curve at any point gives the marginal rate of transformation between the two goods.
