Answer to Question 1

Productive efficiency is an efficiency criterion that describes a situation in which goods and services are produced at the lowest possible cost. It does not imply allocative efficiency which is a criterion associated with producing goods and services that consumers value most. For example, a manufacturer may be able to produce typewriters at the lowest possible cost of 200, but this does not necessarily mean that consumers are willing to pay 200 for a typewriter.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
