  • 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.
