We can transform the schedule of production possibility numbers into a graph.- Each bundle can be represented by a point in two dimensional production possibilities space.
- The two dimensions of the space are clock calibrators on the horizontal axis and jogging shoes on the vertical axis.
- The horizontal axis is measured between 0 and 11 calibrators.
- The vertical axis is measured between 0 and 500 jogging shoes.
- The two axis are joined at the origin.
- The plotted bundles form a semi-circle pattern.
- If these were stars in the night sky we might name it the arc of production. But it's not, so we won't.

MARGINAL PROPENSITY TO CONSUME The proportion of each additional dollar of household income that is used for consumption expenditures. The marginal propensity to consume (abbreviated MPC) is another term for the slope of the consumption line and is calculated as the change in consumption divided by the change in income. The MPC plays a central role in Keynesian economics. It quantifies the consumption-income relation and the fundamental psychological law. It is also a foundation for the slope of the aggregate expenditures line and is critical to the multiplier process. A related consumption measure is the average propensity to consume.
