Lessons
  1. PPF and Marginal Cost
    • Allocative Efficiency
    • Defining Marginal Cost
    • Creating the Marginal Cost Curve
  2. Marginal Benefit
    • Benefit received from one additional unit
    • Willingness to Pay
    • Cannot be derived from PPF
  3. Finding the Allocative Efficiency
    • MB = MC
    • An example of Finding Allocative Efficiency
