EXHIBIT 1-2 Production Possibilities Frontier 1 Key terms found in the section are clearly identified at the start of the section. Key terms are clearly defined in the margins. The Foundation of want Something that we desire to have. resource Anything that is used to produce goods or ser vices. For example, a person s labor may be used to produce computers, TV sets, and much more; therefore, a person s labor is a resource. Scarcity Exists People have wants things they desire to have. They do not want just anything, however. They want the things they think will make them happy and satisfied.

This condition in which our wants are greater than the resources available to satisfy them is called scarcity. Scarcity is an economic fact of life, much as the law of gravity is a fact of life. In fact, scarcity is such an important, fundamental economic Snowboards (thousands per year) Combination A B C D A Snowboards 50,000 40,000 25,000 0 E B and Skis 0 20,000 40,000 60,000 1 The production possibilities frontier is sometimes referred to as a production possibilities curve.
