A-Level Economics · PPF outward shift (economic growth) diagram question

Which point was UNATTAINABLE before the growth, but is attainable once the frontier has shifted out to PPF2?

▶ Try it in the game first

The diagram

The answer

Point B. B is beyond the old frontier: at 7 consumer goods, PPF1 offered no capital goods at all. Only growth gets you there. Ask of every point: which side of PPF1 is it on? B lies OUTSIDE PPF1 but ON PPF2 — unreachable yesterday, reachable today. That is exactly what an outward shift means. M lies outside BOTH frontiers, so it is still out of reach.
