What a PPF shows
A production possibility frontier, or PPF, shows the maximum combinations of two goods that an economy can produce when its resources are fully and efficiently used. One good is placed on each axis. For example, points A=(100,300)A=(100,300)A=(100,300), B=(200,250)B=(200,250)B=(200,250), and C=(300,100)C=(300,100)C=(300,100) can represent successive combinations of laptops and hamburgers on one frontier.
