The feasible frontier is conceptually a mirror image of the production function. This relationship arises because the frontier plots output against free time on its horizontal axis, in contrast to the production function which uses hours of work. Consequently, the feasible frontier shows the maximum quantity of a good, like grain, that can be produced and consumed for any given amount of free time.

Angela's feasible frontier is constructed through a process that starts with her production function. First, feasible combinations of grain output and work hours are identified from the production function (Figure 5.4). Next, the work hours for each combination are converted into hours of free time. These pairs of (free time, grain) are then tabulated (as in Figure 5.5) and plotted on a graph to visualize the frontier.
