Economic models are used to reflect make assumptions about both consumer and producer behavior and in the case of the Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) to show the concepts of opportunity cost, trade-offs, and scarcity. Please reflect on and explain a "real-world" application of the PPF for your scarce resources associated with a scenario where you could spend your time (labor input), equipment (physical capital), and natural resources to allocate resources between two production options. For example, on page 32 of...
