The Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) is an essential economic model that illustrates opportunity cost, representing what must be sacrificed to obtain another good or service. It highlights the concept of trade-offs, emphasizing that due to limited resources, choices must be made among alternatives. Economics studies how individuals and societies allocate scarce resources to meet their needs. By evaluating available choices and understanding the implications of opportunity costs, we can make informed decisions about resource allocation.

Economics is the study of how people make choices among the scarce resources that are available. We can’t have everything because we have limited resources. In order to make good decisions, we need to evaluate the choices available and consider what must be given up when we make those choices. In other words, we should always consider trade-offs and opportunity costs when making choices.
