To find:

Concept introduction:

Opportunity cost: The opportunity cost is defined as the next best activity forgone. This means that if we have to produce more capital goods instead of consumer goods we have to divert more resources for producing capital goods, so there is an opportunity cost for producing more capital goods instead of consumer goods.

Production possibility frontier: The production possibility curve is a curve showing the maximum output can be produced with the given amount of two resources. Any point on the production possibility curve would be an efficient one. The points under the production possibility curve shows the under employment of resources.
