In the context of a PPF, opportunity cost is directly related to the shape of the curve (see below). If the shape of the PPF curve is a straight-line, the opportunity cost is constant as the production of different goods is changing. But, opportunity cost usually will vary depending on the start and end points.
The production possibilities frontier (PPF) for guns versus butter. Points like X that are outside the PPF are impossible to achieve. Points such as B, C, and D illustrate the trade-off between guns and butter: at these levels of production, producing more of one requires producing less of the other. Points located along the PPF curve represent ...
In microeconomic theory, the opportunity cost of a choice is the value of the best alternative forgone where, given limited resources, ...
Opportunity Cost Examples. Opportunity cost can also be considered as the value of the resource in its next best use or next highest-valued alternative. Here are some examples to help better ...
In linear programming, reduced cost, or opportunity cost, is the amount by which an objective function coefficient would have to improve (so increase for maximization problem, decrease for minimization problem) before it would be possible for a corresponding variable to assume a positive value in the optimal solution.

An example PPF: points B, C and D are all productively efficient, but an economy at A would not be, because D involves more production of both goods. Point X cannot be achieved. Productive efficiency occurs under competitive equilibrium at the minimum of average total cost for each good, such as the one shown here.
In Colombia and Haiti, U.S. funding supports farming and fishing and provides incentives for people to stay rather than migrate to the U.S.
