Assume there are only two goods in the world: pizza and electric fans. Draw a production possibility frontier (PPF) illustrating the trade-off between the two (specific numbers are not needed – we are only looking for the basic shape of the PPF). On the same graph, draw new frontiers showing 1) what happens if a major plague reduced worldwide population significantly, and 2) if a machine is invented which doubles the number of fans that can be made in a day (but is irrelevant in the production of pizza).
