Considering the production of maize and shirts in Botswana‚ we can use the notion of the production possibilities curves to determine levels of efficiency‚ inefficiency‚ economic growth and technological improvement. The production possibilities curve (PPC) is a graph that shows the different quantities of the two goods (in this case‚ maize and shirts) that an economy (Botswana) could efficiently produce with the limited productive resources. To be able to illustrate this simply we assume that

The Production Possibility Frontier Consider the case of an island economy that produces only two goods: wine and grain. In a given period of time‚ the islanders may choose to produce only wine‚ only grain‚ or a combination of the two according to the following table: Production Possibility Table Wine|Grain| (Thousand of bottles)|(Thousand of bushels)| 0|15| 5|14| 9|12| 12|9| 14|5| 15|0| The production possibility frontier (PPF)

economies have a production possibility curve and there any many different things that effect it. The removal of trade barriers or also known as free trade is not exempt from this list of things that affect an economies production possibility curve. Reduction in trade barriers can cause a country’s production possibility curve to shift outward. That is just one of many reasons that could cause an economy’s production possibility curve to shift outward. This production possibility curve can also determine

Paint and Primer in One: Do you Get More Value? We all see it in the stores‚ a paint and primer combined in one. Almost all paint brands already have their own 2-in-1 product.
