Step 1: Define PPF

The Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) is a curve that depicts the economy's maximum potential output for two goods or services, based on its available resources and technology, assuming they are utilized efficiently. The PPF illustrates the trade-offs between producing one good or service over the other, revealing the opportunity cost of allocating resources to different tasks.
