K: The standard abbreviation for the quantity of capital goods, especially for the analysis of production. The letter "K" is used even though capital begins with a "C" because "C" is commonly used to represent consumption. The complementary representations for other inputs are "L" for labor and "N" for population.

Production possibilities is an analysis that shows how much of two goods that our economy can produce given existing resources and technology.

Production possibilities analysis is used to...

  • Understand economic concepts: Some of the key terms we will analyze are opportunity cost, unemployment, full employment, investment, and growth.
  • Introduce graphical analysis techniques: This will be our first hands-on work with graphical analysis, a required part of economic study. Graphs, lines, and curves are a handy way of abstracting key relationships and principles from the real world.
