Distinguish between production efficiency and allocative efficiency. Explain why many production possibilities achieve production efficiency but only one achieves allocative efficiency

What will be an ideal response?

Production efficiency occurs when goods and services are produced at the lowest cost. This definition means that production efficiency occurs at any point on the PPF. Therefore all of the production points on the PPF are production efficient. Allocative efficiency occurs when goods and services are produced at the lowest cost and in the quantities that provide the greatest possible benefit. The allocatively efficient production point is the single point on the PPF that has the greatest possible benefit.
