  2. Production Possibilities Frontier • The model of production possibilities frontier shows the maximum quantity of two goods that can be produced due to scarcity. • The model is based on four simplifying assumptions

  3. Production Possibilities Frontier • Two Goods: the economy produces only agricultural products (such as crops ….) and capital goods (such as machines and factories). • Common Resources: the same resources can be used to produce either or both of the two classes of goods and can be shifted freely between them.

  4. Production Possibilities Frontier • Fixed Conditions : the supply of resources and the state of technological knowledge are fixed. • Full Employment : society’s available resources are working in the most (technically) efficient way.

  16. Using Resources Efficiently • Marginal cost • The opportunity cost of producing one more unit of a good or service. • The marginal cost of an additional capital good is the quantity of agricultural good that must be given up.
