Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) explained (PPC)
Production possibility frontier PPF also called production possibility curve PPC is A graph that shows all the combinations of goods and services that can be produced if all of society’s resources are used efficiently.
All points below and to the left of the curve (production possibility frontier) represent combinations of Beer and Wine that are possible for the society given the resources available and existing technology.
Although an economy may be operating with full employment of its land, labor, and capital resources, it may still be operating inside its ppf (production possibility frontier), at a point such as A. The economy could be using those resources inefficiently.
Periods of unemployment also correspond to points inside the ppf (production possibility frontier), such as point A.
Moving onto the frontier like point B means achieving full employment of resources.
Points above and to the right of the curve, such as point C, represent combinations that cannot be reached.
If an economy were to end up at point A on the graph, it would be producing no consumer goods at all; all resources would be used for the production of capital. If an economy were to end up at point B, it would produce only consumer goods.
The ppf illustrates a number of economic concepts. One of the most important is opportunity cost. The opportunity cost of producing more Beer is fewer Wine.

Thanks, inside and on the pff yes, outside not and this why it's called frontier..
i cant find any video explaining how to calculate opp cost of A to B ( so inefficient point to efficient point ). Do i use the same method as point B to F or is it impossible? pls help me
@SocratGhadban

One assumption for the PPF model that the economy/ firm is producing efficiently... When moving from A to B you have no loss but gain on both levels beer and wine. Thus, the opportunity cost is zero and linked to the fact that you were in an inefficient point which means not employing or using the resources on hand.. (keep in mind that we have only two choices of production and there is not third one which might change the interpretation)
if the producer is producing at point B and decides to produce at point E ,what would happen to the production level of both goods like in terms of gain and loss

In this case he will lose 25 Beer and will gain 10 Wine
How did you get, Efficiency point? How did you calculate it

If you mean the different points, they are given
Imports accounted for abour 70% of sales of port meat in Australia. Pork imports from Denamrk, Canada, and the United States rose 48% in the past year. Australian producers receive about $2.30 per kilogram, which costs $3 to produce. Canada is an important supplier of pork meat to Australia, while Australia exports wine to Canada. Draw both an Australian and a Canadian PPF for wine and pork which are consistent with this pattern of trade. Lable the curves. Vertical -Wine (thousands of bottles) Horizontal - Pork meat (thousands of kilograms) Plese can anyone help to solve this question ?

For Australia, since the cost of producing pork is higher than the price they receive, it means that their production of pork is not efficient, and they could produce wine at a lower cost. Therefore, the PPF for Australia would show that they have a comparative advantage in producing wine, and their production of pork is limited due to high costs. For Canada, since they are an important supplier of pork meat to Australia, it suggests that they have a comparative advantage in producing pork. Thus, the Canadian PPF would show that they have a higher potential for producing pork than wine.
great lesson, what app are you using to draw that?

Given the current state of production and technology point C is unreachable, however on the long run which means with a new technology or with time the whole PPF moves to the right and point C becomes attainable!
