    4. Trade: exchange of goods or services between parties

  3. What is a historical example that illustrates a point inside the PPF? Guns vs. Butter
  4. Where will a country be on its production possibilities frontier? Inside (or under) the slope. This shows all available resources to their most powerful extent
  5. Can a country reach a point outside their current production possibilities frontier? Explain. A country can’t be outside of their current PPF without trade. While it is possible, it is extremely unlikely due to a scarcity in many resources.
