Assume you have a production possibilities frontier (PPF) bowed out from the origin with healthcare on the Y axis and education on the X axis. What does the PPF represent? How is opportunity cost demonstrated using the PPF?
What does Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) stand for? Give an example of a simple two good economy and draw its PPF. Explain your choice of the curve (linear, bow-shaped, etc.).
In Kessy’s old kitchen, he could bake 10 cookies or mix 15 glasses of lemonade in a day. Now he has a bigger oven and kitchen. Draw Kessy’s initial PPF assuming constant opportunity cost between cookies and lemonade. Label it PPF1. [For this question, let cookies be illustrated on the horizontal axis.] Given PPF1, what is the opportunity cost of producing more cookies? In other words, how much lemonade must Kessy sacrifice to produce, say, one more cookie? Draw Kessy’s new PPF (label it PPF2) after he receives the new appliances.
a. Draw a production possibility frontier, clearly marking the regions of inefficient production, efficient production and unattainable production. b.Illustrate how the slope of the PPF represents opportunity cost. Why is the frontier concave to origin?
