Why are guns and butter compared on the production possibilities frontier?
Guns and butter are commonly used to illustrate the trade-offs in a nation’s production possibilities frontier (PPF) because they represent two contrasting types of goods: military goods (guns) and civilian goods (butter). The PPF demonstrates the maximum feasible production levels of these goods given limited resources. When a nation allocates more resources to produce guns, it must reduce the production of butter, highlighting the opportunity cost of prioritizing defense over consumer needs. This comparison helps to visualize and analyze the impacts of resource allocation decisions on a society's welfare.

Why do opportunity cost increase as you make more and more butter and fewer guns?
As you produce more butter and fewer guns, the opportunity cost increases due to the principle of diminishing returns. Resources are not perfectly adaptable; as you shift production, the factors of production (like labor and materials) become less efficient when allocated to butter instead of guns. Thus, the more butter you produce, the greater the amount of guns you have to forgo, resulting in higher opportunity costs. This trade-off reflects the increasing sacrifice of gun production for each additional unit of butter.
What is the optimal mix of guns and butter for a nation?
Butter in production was the United States (522,000 t/575,000 short tons) and there are 211 million privately-owned firearms in the U.S. However, I am of the opinion that America has a slight too high gun-butter ratio, so I would perhaps suggest a gun-butter ratio of 250 guns:1t butter/year
