⭐Solved Example
Example: Production Possibility Curve (PPC)
Suppose a country can produce two goods: Wheat and Cloth.
If all resources go to wheat → 100 units wheat, 0 units cloth.
If all resources go to cloth → 0 units wheat, 50 units cloth.
If resources are divided → 80 wheat + 20 cloth, 60 wheat + 30 cloth, etc.
This shows opportunity cost: To produce more cloth, some wheat must be sacrificed.
