We are continuing from where we stopped last time.

Interpretation/ Points to Note from the Graph:

  Points A to F on the graph indicate efficient use of resources.

  At Points O  & P (Outside the curve), production is not feasible. Production at these points are not feasible due to the limited resources and technology.

  At points K & L (Inside the curve), production is feasible. It represents where resources are not efficiently utilised.

 The downward slope of the PPC indicates that there is an opportunity cost of producing more of one type of commodity and less of the other due to limited resources and technical know-how.
