A point inside the PPF means that resources are not being used efficiently. One or more resources (Land, labor, or capital) is being waisted or not used to its potential. More of both goods could be produced than are currently being produced.
Points outside the frontier are unattainable because they represent combinations of resources or outputs that exceed the current capacity or efficiency of an economy or production system. The frontier itself, often depicted as a production possibilities frontier (PPF), illustrates the maximum feasible output combinations given existing resources and technology. Any point beyond this boundary indicates a level of production that cannot be achieved without improvements in resources, technology, or efficiency. In essence, these unattainable points highlight the limits of current capabilities.
Point F violates the assumption of the production-possibility curve that resources and technology are not fixed. The curve is sometimes referred to as the productionâ??possibility frontier.
Then the point is not outside the polygon...?
Basically the PPC represents the hypothetical amount of two different goods that could be obtained by using resources from the production of one for the production of the other. It also describes society's choice between two different goods. When a point is on the curve it means all the resources for those goods is at full employment, anything under the curve is at under-employment, and anything beyond the curve indicates potential growth.
== == Inscribed is a polygon inside a circle with all points on a given point in the circle. Circumscribed is a circle inside a polygon with any given point touching just one point on the polygon. Hope this helped.
Attainable.
below or to the left of the production possibilities frontier
below or to the left of the production possibilities frontier
below or to the left of the production possibilities frontier
below or to the left of the production possibilities frontier
This represents a production point that could be achieved if there were suffecient resources available.
Attainable, but the economy is inefficient.
A point inside a production possibilities curve represents things that can be produced. However, points inside the curve would be less efficient to produce than those points resting directly on the line.
At any point of underutilization/any point inside of the curve
A point outside a PPC shows the problem of scarcity. A point outside the Production Possibility Curve shows a combination that cannot be attained because sufficient quantity of resources are not available to produce them.
Efficiency is greatest when diminishing returns is at its most efficient point. In a possibilities frontier if I have two items, I want to make sure I am not over-producing one item or the other because then my opportunity costs are high and that is inefficient.
It indicates that more output could be produced with available resources in that region.
