In microeconomics, a production–possibility frontier (PPF), production possibility curve (PPC), or production possibility boundary (PPB) is a graphical representation showing all the possible options of output for two that can be produced using all factors of production, where the given resources are fully and efficiently utilized per unit time.
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 ...
Crop title off so can be used in more places: 12:01, 18 December 2006: 470 × 500 (13 KB) Everlong {{Information |Description=A diagram showing the production possibilities frontier (PPF) curve for producing "guns" and "butter". Point "A" lies below the curve, denoting underutilized production capacity. Points "B", "C", and "D" lie on the curve ...
The PPF and thus production will shift to point B. Production of clothing, the labour-intensive good, will rise from C 1 to C 2. Production of cars, the capital-intensive good, will fall from S 1 to S 2. If the endowment of capital rose the capital constraint would shift out causing an increase in car production and a decrease in clothing ...
The offer curve is derived from the country's PPF. We describe a Country named K which enjoys both goods Y and X. It is slightly better at producing good X, but wants to consume both goods. It wants to consume at point C or higher (above the PPF). Country K starts in Autarky at point C. At point C, country K
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.
The boundary of the production possibilities set is known as the production-possibility frontier (PPF). [9] This curve measures the feasible outputs that Crusoe can produce, with a fixed technological constraint and given amount of resources. In this case, the resources and technological constraints are Robinson Crusoe's labour. [1]
Productive capacity has a lot in common with a production possibility frontier (PPF) that is an answer to the question what the maximum production capacity of a certain economy is which means using as many economy’s resources to make the output as possible. In a standard PPF graph, two types of goods’ quantities are set.
