Standards EF2 and EF3- productions possibilities curve; rational decision making; and specialization.

 If I owned a business a PPC would tell me all possible production possibilities for two products.


 growth and increasing of production would cause my PPC shift outward

 the best way to determine whether or not we are making a rational economic decision is by seeing if the marginal benefits exceeds the marginal costs

 Companies choose to specialize and trade because they have a comparative advantage. Also division of labor increases production, profit and trade. If companies didn’t specialize then production, profit, and trade would decrease.

 I feel that I really grasp this concept. Two things that confuse me however is comparative advantage and marginal benefits exceeding marginal costs. When I answer questions about those two things my mind is a little shaky
