Division of Labor
• Division of Labor – work is arranged so individuals do fewer tasks than before.
• Specialization – factors of production perform tasks more efficiently than others.
• Human Capital – the sum of the skills, abilities, health, and motivation of the people.

Production Possibilities Frontier• PPF is a diagram that
represents various combinations of goods and/or services an economy can produce when all productive resources are fully employed.

Trade-offs & Opportunity Costs
• Trade-offs – alternate choices
• Opportunity costs – the cost of the next best alternative use of money, time, or resources when one choice is made rather than another.

Alternate choices in Mr. Milewski’s Class
• Example: “I have three passes for the quarter. If I don’t use them, I get 25 extra credit points. If I use one pass I get 15 extra credit points.”
• Question: What is the opportunity cost of using a pass in Mr. Milewski’s class?

PPF
![Page 9: Economics 9/12/11 OBJECTIVE: Examine the production possibilities frontier. I. Journal #4 pt. A -answer the question to the caption.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e975503460f94b9a834/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Measuring Opportunity Costs• Opportunity costs are measured in terms of
what you give up.
• The cost of using a pass in Mr. Milewski’s class is the extra credit you lose.
• The cost of increasing gun production is the butter you give up.

What the PPF Line Represents• The line of the PPF shows what is possible
if all of the factors of production are fully employed.
• So, if you have unemployment are you on the PPF?
• What could cause the PPF to shift outward?

produce?

• Productive resources (land, labor, capital & entrepreneurs) are scarce and must be used in a way that the benefits of their use are greater than their costs.
![Page 22: Economics 9/12/11 OBJECTIVE: Examine the production possibilities frontier. I. Journal #4 pt. A -answer the question to the caption.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e975503460f94b9a834/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Full employment• When people

http://www.publicradio.org/columns/marketplace/whiteboard-blog/Employment-Jan-2011-CORRECTED.jpg
![Page 26: Economics 9/12/11 OBJECTIVE: Examine the production possibilities frontier. I. Journal #4 pt. A -answer the question to the caption.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e975503460f94b9a834/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Price stability• Price stability adds a degree of certainty to the future.
• If inflation–a rise in the general level of prices–occurs, workers need more money to pay for food, clothing, and shelter.
• How inflation works:
-Wendy’s Jr. Cheese Deluxe
-Cost $.99
![Page 27: Economics 9/12/11 OBJECTIVE: Examine the production possibilities frontier. I. Journal #4 pt. A -answer the question to the caption.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e975503460f94b9a834/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
If you make $5.00• How many Jr. Cheese’s
can you buy per hour?
• 5, so your purchasing power is 5 burgers per hour
• Next year you get a raise of $1, is your purchasing power higher this year than it was last year or lower?

• You can’t answer the question until you know the price of the Jr. Cheese.
• If the price of the Jr. Cheese goes to $1.50, what is the change in your purchasing power?
• Decreased by 1 burger

Fixed Income• People who live on a fixed income–an income
that does not increase even though prices go up–find that bills are harder to pay and that planning for the future is more difficult.
![Page 31: Economics 9/12/11 OBJECTIVE: Examine the production possibilities frontier. I. Journal #4 pt. A -answer the question to the caption.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e975503460f94b9a834/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Economic growth• Growth is needed so
that people can have more goods and services.
• Since the nation’s population is likely to grow, economic growth is necessary to meet everyone’s needs.http://change-production.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/wordpress_copies/uspoverty/2010/10/2010-10-
