Drawing a production possibilities frontier (PPF)
Instructions:
Consider an economy than only produces two goods - Blueberries and Batteries.
Step 1: Draw a production possibilities frontier (PPF) for this economy. Label blueberries on the vertical axis and batteries on the horizontal axis. Label one point that is "efficient", one point that is "inefficient", and one point that is "unattainable".
Step 2. Draw another PPF of the economy with the axes labeled. Grab another color pen/pencil/highlighter and show how the PPF would change if there was a technological change that increased the production of batteries only. (Hint: The intercept for blueberries will not change.) Clearly label the new PPF.
Step 3. Draw another PPF of the economy with the axes labeled. Grab another color pen/pencil/highlighter and show how the PPF would change if there was a drought that destroyed some of the blueberry harvest. (Hint: The intercept for batteries will not change.) Clearly label the new…

4. Shifts in production possibilities
Suppose Japan produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for
wheat, an agricultural good, and cars, a capital good.
A-Z
Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a technological advance in medicine that allows workers to live
longer and have extended careers.
Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will
snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

A production possibilities curve (PPC) represents the maximum amount of two goods or services produced by manufacturers in an economy.
Draw a correctly labeled PPC for U.S. production of consumer and capital goods.
2. Policymakers enact an investment tax credit for firms that finance technological research and development. Assuming producers of both consumer and capital goods are affected, illustrate on your PPC the long-term effects of this tax credit.
3. Using a correctly labeled graph of the long-run aggregate supply curve, show how the natural rate of output would respond to the tax credit in the long run. Explain.
