Step 1

Production possibility curve can be explained as the curve which shows different possibilities of the combinations of two goods which can be produced within the available resources in the economy. The point on the curve are the points which are attainable and efficient, whereas the point inside the curve are considered to be attainable but inefficient. Moreover, the points above the PPC are said to be unattainable point because of the limited resources available in the economy.
