A PPF shows us the Opportunity Cost if producing 1 good or service in return for losing another

<><>

They can show if resources are being used effectively. If they are Producing inside the PPF resources are not being used effectively.

<><>

It shows how effectively resources can be used to make 2 compared goods/types of goods. Each of these goods is assigned to an axis. The curve contains the points where all resources are used to their maximums, including labor, meaning full employment. If shows the quantity of how many of one good must be given up to produce more of the other good. You can see this by comparing 2 points on the curve. If apples are on the x axis, and bananas are on the y axis, and the 2 points are (10, 20) and (40, 10), then we see we can produce 30 more apples in this economy if we choose to produce 10 less bananas. This is the opportunity cost. Points under the curve show inefficiency, and points beyond are not possible to reach for long periods of time.

What is the less steep the cost slope of an activity?

A less steep cost slope of an activity indicates that the cost increases gradually rather than sharply as the level of activity rises. This typically suggests that the activity is more efficient, with lower marginal costs associated with increased output. In contrast, a steep cost slope would imply higher costs as production scales up, potentially reflecting diminishing returns or inefficiencies. Such a gradual slope may also encourage greater production or investment in the activity.
