उत्तर
The production possibility frontier (PPF) refers to a curve that shows various alternative combinations of two goods that can be produced with efficient utilisation of the given resources and technology. It is also called production possibility curve (PPC).
All the points lying on the PPC, that is curve AE, are associated with different quantities of good 1 and good 2 produced, by employing the available resources fully and in an efficient manner. While any point lying under the curve, like F, depicts inefficiency or underutilisation of available resources. Whereas any point lying outside the curve, like Z, depicts over utilisation of the available endowment of resources and technology; making it non-feasible.
