Question

Draw the PPF for corn and iron for both Aisha and Betty, being as exact and neat as possible. Put iron on the
horizontal axis. Assume that the dots define a complete curve.

Can you help me produce the ppf.. I suspect I need to produce two of them. Please include the steps so I can learn in the process. Thanks

Aisha
