PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES: The alternative combinations of goods produced if the economy fully uses all available resources. Production possibilities of an economy are limited because resources used to produce goods and services are limited. The basic presentation of production possibilities often takes the form of a production possibilities schedule, which is a table of numbers illustrating a discrete number of production bundles. A slightly more advanced presentation is through a production possibilities curve (or frontier), which is a graph of the alternative production bundles.

A business organization that is owned and operated by one person. The owner and the business are legally considered one and the same. As such, the owner receives any and all profit and is responsible for any and all debts, what is termed unlimited liability. A proprietorship is one of the three basic forms of business organization. The other two are partnership and corporation. A large number of proprietorships exist in the economy, but they tend to be relatively small operations.
