Scarcity, on a PPC (PPF) is implied by the bowed (concave-down) shape of the curve, since there is a restriction on how much can be produced and, to get more of something, one must give away something else.

How production possibility frontier provide an insight into the issue of scarcity and choice which an economy faces when deciding what goods and services to produce?

What is the significance of the PPF equation in understanding the trade-offs between two goods in an economy?

The PPF equation, or Production Possibility Frontier, shows the maximum possible combinations of two goods that an economy can produce given its resources and technology. It helps to illustrate the trade-offs between producing one good over another, highlighting the concept of scarcity and the need to make choices in resource allocation. By analyzing the PPF, economists can understand the opportunity cost of producing one good instead of another, and make informed decisions about resource allocation and economic efficiency.
