A point of underutilization would appear inside the production possibilities frontier (PPF). This indicates that the economy is not using all its resources efficiently, resulting in fewer outputs than the maximum potential. Such a point suggests that resources, such as labor or capital, are either idle or not being fully employed in the production process.
no
At any point of underutilization/any point inside of the 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.
below or to the left of the production possibilities frontier
A point below the production possibilities curve (PPC) indicates that an economy is not utilizing all of its resources efficiently, resulting in lower output than possible. This inefficiency can arise from factors like unemployment or underutilization of resources. In contrast, a point on the curve represents optimal production levels, where resources are fully employed and the economy is achieving maximum output. Thus, points below the curve reflect wasted potential compared to the efficiency represented by points on the curve.

A point of underutilization on a production possibilities graph appears inside the production possibilities frontier (PPF). This indicates that the economy is not using all of its available resources efficiently, resulting in lower output than the maximum potential. Such points suggest that improvements can be made to increase production without sacrificing other goods.

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.
This represents a production point that could be achieved if there were suffecient resources available.
Attainable.
Attainable, but the economy is inefficient.
