Production Possibility Frontier
is a diagram that models scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost.
Production Possibility Frontier
shows the choice between two options (PPE and food)
In Production Probability Frontier, the blue curve represents their
limited
resources.
In Production Possibility Frontier, the points on or inside the PPF curve represent the
possible choices
for production.
In Production Possibility Frontier, the points on the PPF
curve are
efficient.
They maximize all available resources.
In Production Possibility Frontier, the points inside the PPF curve are possible but
inefficient
as it leaves resources unused.
In Production Possibility Frontier, the points outside the PPF curve are
impossible
given the current limited resources
In Production Possibility Frontier,
Scarcity
is seen with how the curve prevents us from fulfilling all the wants for both PPE and food.
In Production Possibility Frontier,
Choice
is visualized through the different points of production (A, B, C, and D) that are available.
In Production Possibility Frontier,
Opportunity cost
is present because choosing any of the points means missing out on the other alternatives.
