Figure 2.2 A Production Possibilities Curve
The table shows the combinations of pairs of skis and snowboards that
Plant 1 is capable of producing each month. These are also illustrated
with a production possibilities curve. Notice that this curve is linear.
To see this relationship more clearly, examine Figure 2.3 "The Slope of a
Production Possibilities Curve". Suppose Plant 1 is producing 100 pairs of
skis and 50 snowboards per month at point B. Now consider what would
happen if Ms. Ryder decided to produce 1 more snowboard per month. The
segment of the curve around point B is magnified in Figure 2.3 "The Slope
of a Production Possibilities Curve". The slope between points B and B′ is
−2 pairs of skis/snowboard. Producing 1 additional snowboard at point B′
requires giving up 2 pairs of skis. We can think of this as the opportunity
