2) TEST

3) Trade-Offs, Opportunity Costs, and the Production Possibilities Curve (PPC)
Important to know, most of what we learn in the economics portion of the course you already intuitively know. Mostly, I will not be giving too much new information. What we will mostly do is make the economic way of thinking accessible and apply the formal vocabulary to the concepts.
It is important to note that in this example any place underneath a PPC represents an inefficient use of resources (point A). Any point outside of the PPC is not possible with the current level of technology and resources (point B). Any point on the PPC represents a possible combination that maximizes your resources (point C), in this example you are maximizing your time. Moving along the PPC from point C to any other point demonstrates opportunity costs. Point C represents a combination of 2 hours of leisure time and 2 hours of academic time. In order to gain 1 more hour of leisure time (3 hours) you will have to give up 1 hour of academic time (1 hour).
