At Full Potential
At an 'X-efficient' level.
A production possibilities curve illustrates how efficient an economy is by indicating the possibly opportunities in the economy. This will also illustrate the relevant costs entailed in the production.
Any point on the PPC curve
Attainable, but the economy is inefficient.
when resources are fully employed, an economy can produce more of one thing only by producing less of something else

Attainable, but the economy is inefficient.
An economy working below its most efficient production levels points inside the production possibilities frontier. This is in the context of a production possibilities curve.
when resources are fully employed, an economy can produce more of one thing only by producing less of something else
when resources are fully employed, an economy can produce more of one thing only by producing less of something else
must be producing along the production possibilities curve.
An economy can be producing on the PPF curve only in theory. In reality, economies constantly struggle to reach an optimal production capacity.
At any point of underutilization/any point inside of the curve
If there are opportunity cost, then yes my friend, they do.
The economy's production possibilities would drop if there was a reduction in the number of hours worked each day. Since, production is dependent on labor, there would be less products produced.
That is true :)
