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...

FUNDAMENTALS This question examines the production possibilities of two individuals, Pedro and Jessica. You will construct the production possibilities frontier (PPF) for both individuals, identify each individual’s opportunity cost of producing different goods, and examine comparative advantages. Pedro and Jessica each have limited productive resources, which they can employ either in the production of pencils or pens. Below, you are provided with the feasible combinations of pencils and pens that each individual can produce, and that employ all of their...
