At Full Potential
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

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.
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
A production possibilities curve (PPC) illustrates the maximum output combinations of two goods or services that an economy can achieve, given available resources and technology. It reveals the trade-offs and opportunity costs associated with reallocating resources between the production of different goods. The curve also indicates efficiency (points on the curve), inefficiency (points inside the curve), and unattainable production levels (points outside the curve). Overall, it helps to visualize the limits of production and the choices an economy must make.
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.
