No. It either cannot be maintained for long or it is impossible because the production possibility curve (PPC) shows the available areas of operation to a firm or economy to operate within the frontier, due to a fixed and scarce amount of resources and technology. Therefore, it is impossible, because of fixed levels of technology and resources, for the firm or economy to operate outside the PPC.

A point outside a production possibilities frontier is?

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.


Outside the production possibility frontier is?

Unattainable given resources and technology. Cannot be attained unless resources or tech increase, or if trade occurs


How does the Production Possibility Frontier illustrate scarcity?

Scarcity, on a PPC (PPF) is implied by the bowed (concave-down) shape of the curve, since there is a restriction on how much can be produced and, to get more of something, one must give away something else.


What does the point outside a production possibility curve mean?

It is an unreachable possibility.


What impact does unemployment has on production possible curve?

Unemployment itself is one of the factors as to why the Production Possibility Curve (PPC) is what it is - a frontier where production cannot occur outside of. If unemployment increased, you would see decreases of the the PPC at any given point, that is, closer to the origin.


How do you illustrate a production possibility frontier?

By using production possibility curve,country is producing both industrial and agricultural product using available resources, technology country operating inside production possibility curve shows the levels underdevelopment, which will be result under utilisation of resources ,poor technology. The country operating outside production possibility curve show the levels of development in economy, however, an economy can produce both industrial and agricultural using the resources available without effecting the production each . A shift from inside to outside it may be result of discovering of new resources, improved technology .

A point that lies outside a country's production possibilities curve means that the country is not able to produce. The possibility curve shows how a country can efficiently produce.


How do you Illustrate on Production Possibility Frontier diagram?

The PPF graph is a bowed out curve. The x-axis being quantity produced of one product/service and the y-axis being another quantity produced of a product/service. Any point on the curve is productive efficiency. Outside of the curve is unattainable and inside of the curve is inefficient.


What may enable an economy to consume a combination of goods outside its production possibility frontier?

An economy(country) can consume outside of its PPF if its starts to trade with another country that also produces all goods. Since these countries may have different comparative advantages in production, they will focus on producing more of one good and export the excess, i.e that which is not consumed or wanted in the own country. The terms of trade will then determine how much of the other good the country can import for the price of the exported good but you will then end up in a situation where you consume more goods than an economy can produce itself.

Any intersection of points outside the frontier line on a production possibilities graph would show that the economy is?

Depends on what the graph will display for us to really gather a correct answer. The reason behind it is because there are a lot of topics that have to do about the economy.
