How can trade-offs and opportunity costs be shown on a production possibilities curve (PPC)? E. Napp

Producers have options. Should a farmer grow corn or broccoli? E. Napp

A Production Possibilities Graph A Production Possibilities Graph shows alternative ways of using a country’s or producer’s resources. If a farmer uses more of his land to grow corn, he has less land for broccoli. Every decision has its cost. E. Napp

What is the cost of producing more automobiles? E. Napp

Efficiency An economy is efficient when it uses resources in such a way as to maximize production. Why is it important to be efficient? E. Napp

Look at the graph. Where is efficiency occurring? E. Napp

Look at this graph. Where is efficiency occurring? E. Napp

Underutilization Underutilization is the opposite of efficiency. Underutilization occurs when an economy uses fewer resources than it is capable of using. Why do producers avoid the underutilization of resources? E. Napp

Look at the graph. Where is underutilization occurring? E. Napp

The Production Possibilities Frontier The line on the graph that shows the maximum possible production is called the production possibilities frontier. At the frontier, efficiency is occurring. However, new technology can shift the frontier. Think about it! E. Napp

Look at the graph. Where is underutilization occurring? E. Napp

Don’t Forget Scarcity! A producer cannot produce everything. A producer must make choices. Remember: It’s all about scarcity. Our resources are limited but our wants and desires are unlimited. E. Napp
