known as the Production Possibility Frontier is simple to understand. It is a method used to represent (in the form of a graph) the point in which an economy is producing its goods and services with efficiency. It also shows whether the economy is allocating their resources in the best way possible. If the economy is not producing the quantities indicated by the PPF‚ resources are not being managed efficiently and the production will decrease. The production possibility frontier also shows that

Production-possibility frontier In economics‚ a production-possibility frontier (PPF) or “transformation curve” is a graph that shows the different quantities of two goods that an economy (or agent) could efficiently produce with limited productive resources. Points along the curve describe the trade-off between the two goods‚ that is‚ the opportunity cost. Opportunity cost here measures how much an additional unit of one good costs in units forgone of the other good. The curve illustrates that

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

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
