Since resources are limited,the society cannot get all the goods and services the people want.And hence some mechanisms are used to guide the use of resources in the production of goods and services to satisfy as many as people wants as possible.

When the society do not know what to produce,the Production Possibility Frontier [PPF] is used to represent a boundary between those combination of goods and services which can be produced and those which cannot be produced.

How does the Production Possibility Frontier illustrate scarcity?

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.

A point outside a production possibilities frontier is?

A point outside a PPC shows the problem of scarcity. A point outside the Production Possibility Curve shows a combination that cannot be attained because sufficient quantity of resources are not available to produce them.

What does Production Possibilities Frontier represent?

it represents the boundary between the goods that are attainable and unattainable within an economy. Inside and along the ppf means that goods are attainable and outside the ppf menas the goods are unattainable and it thereby shows scarcity


What is a ppf?

A PPF, or Production Possibility Frontier, is a graphical representation that illustrates the maximum possible output combinations of two goods or services that an economy can produce given its resources and technology. The curve shows trade-offs and opportunity costs, highlighting the efficient use of resources. Points on the curve represent efficient production, while points inside indicate underutilization, and points outside are unattainable with current resources. This model helps in understanding economic efficiency, scarcity, and the impact of resource allocation decisions.
