WARM UP
What was the opportunity cost of
coming to school this morning? What is
the opportunity cost of writing your
warm up right now?
![Page 3: PRODUCTION POSSiBILITIES. WARM UP What was the opportunity cost of coming to school this morning? What is the opportunity cost of writing your warm up](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649dd25503460f94ac9844/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
OBJECTIVE
• Demonstrate how a
production possibilities curve
is used to identify opportunity
costs.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION
• How do societies and businesses
decide where to allocate their
financial resources? What is the total
economic cost of producing a certain
good?

REVIEW
WHAT IS OPPORTUNITY COST?
A: The total cost
B: How much something costs
C: The value of the next best
alternative

• What is economic cost?
A. Opportunity cost plus actual cost
B. How much something costs
C. Opportunity cost

TERM• PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES
FRONTIER:
A diagram representing various
combinations of goods and/or services
an economy can produce when all
productive resources are fully
employed
![Page 8: PRODUCTION POSSiBILITIES. WARM UP What was the opportunity cost of coming to school this morning? What is the opportunity cost of writing your warm up](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649dd25503460f94ac9844/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ACTIVITY: YOU ARE THE PRODUCERS
• Need resources– Land• Raw materials – paper (from trees)
– Labor• You will be the workers!
– Capital• Desk• Scissors
• Each producer has the same resources
![Page 9: PRODUCTION POSSiBILITIES. WARM UP What was the opportunity cost of coming to school this morning? What is the opportunity cost of writing your warm up](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649dd25503460f94ac9844/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
8• Read instructions– Cut out the strip along its side borders– Cut the strip into 5 squares, using remaining
solid lines– Decide whether you want to cut any of the
squares into triangles, using the dotted lines• You may cut some of the squares, or • All of the squares, or • None of the squares
• But only cut along the dotted lines shown.
• Any questions? • Begin . . .

Production Possibility Schedule
• Did anyone produce only triangles?
How many triangles did you produce?
• 10
How many squares were you able to produce?
• 0
Did anyone produce 8 triangles?
How many squares did you produce?
• 1

Production Possibility Schedule
• Possibilities, #sq, # triangle, opportunity cost per sq
A 0 10
B 1 8 2
C 2 6 2
D 3 4 2
E 4 2 2
F 5 0 2 =
constant opportunity cost, 2

PLOT THE GRAPHY
• Triangle on the ‘y’, squares on the ‘x’
• This is the production possibilities frontier
• So: what is the cost of 1 triangle? (1/2 a
square)
• Look at points within the frontier…could
they happen? What about outside the
frontier?

• Assumptions of PPF:
• - all resources are used – full
employment
• - max production possible – frontier
• efficient use of resources

ACTIVITY:
• Coconuts or carrots, slide 34-43
• Worker 1: 1 apple, 7 banana
• Worker 2: 1 apple, 10 banana
• Worker 3: 1 apple, 15 banana
• Worker 4, 1 apple, 20 bananas

Let’s make a new graph

DOL
• L.1: Define the production
possibilities frontier
• L.2: Explain the connection between
the production possibilities frontier
and opportunity costs.
