Each point on a production possibilities curve (PPC) represents a different combination of two goods or services that an economy can produce using its available resources and technology. Points on the curve indicate efficient production levels, where resources are fully utilized. Points inside the curve reflect inefficiency or underutilization of resources, while points outside the curve are unattainable with current resources. The PPC illustrates trade-offs and opportunity costs, highlighting the choices an economy faces in allocating its resources.
Any point on the PPC curve
A point inside the curve on a production possibilities curve (PPC) represents an inefficient use of resources, where the economy is not operating at its full potential. This indicates that more of one or both goods could be produced without sacrificing the production of another good. It suggests underutilization of labor, capital, or technology. In contrast, points on the curve represent efficient production levels.
PPC stands for Production Possibility Curve.
Any time the PPC curve shifts outward it indicates economic growth, however reaching a point outside of an PPC can be reached by using trade.

A point below the production possibilities curve (PPC) indicates that resources are not being fully utilized. This could be due to unemployment, inefficiency, or resources being used in a suboptimal way. The economy is operating below its maximum potential output.

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.
No, the production possibilities curve (PPC) cannot be reached if there are idle resources. The PPC represents the maximum output combinations of two goods that can be produced using all available resources efficiently. When resources are idle, the economy is not operating at full capacity, resulting in production levels that fall inside the curve, rather than on it. Thus, the PPC reflects potential output only when all resources are fully utilized.
Massive unemployment will shift the PPC to the left because labour force remains underutilized. The economy will produce inside the PPC indicating underutilization of resources.
The line on a production possibilities curve (PPC) that shows the amounts of goods produced is known as the production possibilities frontier (PPF). This curve illustrates the maximum feasible output combinations of two goods that can be produced with available resources and technology. Points on the curve indicate efficient production levels, while points inside the curve represent inefficiency, and points outside the curve are unattainable with current resources.
There is no shift in the PPC.Only a dot is marked within the curve(Not on the curve) in the exact center of the two axes.The shape of the PPC is concave to the origin.
