    Thank you for explaining the ppc/ppf very well. Why do you need to work out the opportunity cost separately for :
    A to B
    B to C
    C to D
    D to C
    Why do we need to work out the difference between the 2 different points before dividing these 2 values together to work out the opportunity cost? Why can we flip the C to D in order to work out D to C points on the graph?
