Brief Chapter Summary and Learning Objectives
2.1 Production Possibilities Frontiers and Opportunity Costs (pages 42–47)
Use a production possibilities frontier to analyze opportunity costs and trade-offs.

and trade-offs that individuals, firms, and countries face.

2.2 Comparative Advantage and Trade (pages 48–54)

Describe comparative advantage and explain how it serves as the basis for trade.

 Comparative advantage is the ability of an individual, firm, or country to produce a good

or service at a lower opportunity cost than other producers.

Chapter Outline
Managers at Tesla Motors Face Trade-Offs
Electric cars have struggled in the marketplace because the batteries that power them are costly. Furthermore,
the batteries have to be recharged every 100 to 300 miles. But in early 2013, Tesla Motors announced higher
than expected sales of its electric cars. Tesla sells all of its cars online and relies on company-owned service
centers to provide maintenance. Tesla’s managers face a number of decisions; for example, to reach its goal
of producing 1 million vehicles annually will require it to build one additional factory to assemble cars and
other factories to make the battery cells used to power the cars. Using more resources to build factories would
leave fewer resources to expand production of its two existing product lines.

Production Possibilities Frontiers and Opportunity Costs (pages 42–47)

2.1 Learning Objective: Use a production possibilities frontier to analyze opportunity costs
and trade-offs.
Scarcity is a situation in which unlimited wants exceed the limited resources available to fulfill those
wants. A production possibilities frontier is a simple model that economists can use to analyze trade-offs,
such as the trade-off Tesla faces in deciding how many of each type of automobile (in the textbook
example, either original models or Model 3s) it should produce at its plant in Fremont, California, given
its limited resources.
A production possibilities frontier (PPF) is a curve showing the maximum attainable combinations of
two goods that may be produced with available resources and current technology.

A. Graphing the Production Possibilities Frontier

All combinations of products on the frontier are efficient because all available resources are being used.
Combinations inside the frontier are inefficient because maximum output is not obtained from available
resources. Points outside the frontier are unattainable given the firm’s current resources. Opportunity
cost is the highest-valued alternative that must be given up to engage in an activity.

B. Increasing Marginal Opportunity Costs

A production possibilities frontier that is bowed outward illustrates increasing marginal opportunity costs,
which occur because some workers, machines, and other resources are better suited to one use than to
another. Increasing marginal opportunity costs illustrate an important concept: The more resources
already devoted to any activity, the smaller the payoff to devoting additional resources to that activity.

C. Economic Growth
Economic growth is the ability of the economy to increase the production of goods and services.
Economic growth can occur if more resources become available or if a technological advance makes
resources more productive. Growth may lead to greater increases in production for one good than another.

Extra
Apply the Facing Trade-offs in Health Care Spending
Concept
Households have limited incomes. If the price of health care rises, households have to choose whether to
buy less health care or spend less on other goods and services. The same is true of the federal
government’s spending on health care. The government provides health insurance to about 30 percent of
the population through programs such as Medicare for people age 65 and older and Medicaid for low-
income people. If the price of health care rises, the government has to either cut back on the services
provided through Medicare and Medicaid or cut spending in another part of the government’s budget. (Of
course, both households and the government can borrow to pay for some of their spending, but ultimately
the funds they can borrow are also limited.)
About 54 percent of the population has private health insurance, often provided by employers. When the
fees doctors charge, the cost of prescription drugs, and the cost of hospital stays rise, the cost to
employers of providing health insurance increases too. As a result, employers will typically increase the
amount they withhold from employees’ paychecks to pay for the insurance. Some employers—
particularly small firms—will even stop offering health insurance to their employees. In either case, the
price employees pay for health care will rise. How do people respond to rising health care costs? Isn’t
health care a necessity that people continue to consume the same amount of, no matter how much its price
increases? In fact, studies have shown that rising health care costs cause people to cut back their spending
on medical services, just as people cut back their spending on other goods and services when their prices
rise. One research study indicates that for every 1 percent increase in the amount employers charge
employees for insurance, 164,000 people become uninsured. Of course, people without health insurance
can still visit the doctor and obtain prescriptions, but they have to pay higher prices than people with
insurance pay. Although the consequences of being uninsured can be severe, particularly if someone
develops a serious illness, economists are not surprised that higher prices for health insurance lead to less
health insurance being purchased: Faced with limited incomes, people have to make choices among the
goods and services they buy.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that as the U.S. population ages and medical costs continue to
rise, federal government spending on Medicare will more than double over between 2016 and 2027.
Many policymakers are concerned that this rapid increase in Medicare spending will force a reduction in
spending on other government programs. Daniel Callahan, a researcher at the Hastings Center for
Bioethics, has argued that policymakers should consider taking some dramatic steps, such as having
Medicare stop paying for open-heart surgery and other expensive treatments for people over 80 years of
age. Callahan argues that the costs of open-heart surgery and similar treatments for the very old exceed
the benefits, and the funds would be better spent on treatments for younger patients, where the benefits
would exceed the costs. Spending less on prolonging the lives of the very old in order to save resources
that can be used for other purposes is a very painful trade-off to consider. But in a world of scarcity,
trade-offs of some kind are inevitable.

offs to discuss some of the main issues you would deal with in your report.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of

Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,

Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project

Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed

editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
