eFarmer.us Example: Corn vs. Soybeans Production Possibilities Frontier A mathematical model which shows efficient combinations of output produced given available factors of production and unchanged technology Copyright 2012 eStudy.us Corn Soybean Illustrates the use of assumptions Marginal decision making Opportunity Cost Increasing Opportunity Cost Sensitivity Analysis (Changing Assumptions)
