- 1a. What is a Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF)? Consider an economy with only two goods: guns and butter. Show the tradeoff between the production of guns and the production of butter by drawing a (bowed outward) PPF (use gun production on the horizontal axis and butter production on the vertical axis). b. In what ways does the PPF reflect: i. scarcity and choice; and ii. increasing opportunity cost? c. How would the PPF be affected by a technological improvement in the production of guns?

Shifts in production possibilities Suppose Japan produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for wheat, an agricultural good, and cars, a capital good. A-Z Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a technological advance in medicine that allows workers to live longer and have extended careers. Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
