Inability to produce enough goods
What to produce?There are two aspects of this problem--- firstly, which goods should be produced, and secondly, what should be the quantities of the goods that are to be produced. The first problem relates to the goods which are to be produced. In other words, what goods should be produced? An economy wants many things but all these cannot be produced with the available resources.Therefore, an economy has to choose what goods should be produced and what goods should not be. In other words, whether consumer goods should be produced or producer goods or whether general goods should be produced or capital goods or whether civil goods should be produced or defense goods. The second problem is what should be the quantities of the goods that are to be produced.Production of goods depends upon the use of resources. Hence, this problem is the problem of allocation of resources. If we allocate more resources for the production of one commodity, the re­sources for the production of other commodities would be less.

The possibility of free riders, a situation where some individuals in a population either consume more than their fair share of a common resource, or pay less than their fair share of the cost of a common resource, is a problem for the production of public goods.
ig it's my turn to chip in the possiblity of free riders- APEXXX
production of goods was increased
(i) Which goods should be produced and in how much quantity? (scarcity) (ii) What technique should be adopted for production? (efficiency, PPC) (iii) For whom goods should be produced? (allocation of goods)
The free rider problem hinders the provision of public goods because individuals can benefit from these goods without contributing to their production. This can lead to underfunding and inadequate provision of public goods, as people may choose not to pay for them if they can still enjoy the benefits without cost.
Intermediate Goods
Intermediate goods are used in the production of final goods. They consist of the materials used to create the final product.
