Answer: country 1's PPF lies further to the right than country 2's PPF.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both country 1 and country 2 are located on their respective production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for consumer goods and capital goods, but country 1 produces twice the output of both types of goods compared to country 2. It follows that country 1's PPF lies further to the right than country 2's PPF.

The Production Possibilities Frontier is simply a graph used to show several output combination for two goods that will be be formed using the available resources and skills.

country 1's PPF lies further to the right than country 2's PPF would imply that PPF would lead to a rise in factor resources and a rise in productivity to be able to reach the output of both the consumer and capital goods.
