Can Saudi Arabia produce 200 million barrels of oil and three million cars?

(Description)
The corresponding data in the table Saudi Arabia is highlighted.

(Speaker)
Looking at the table, we can see that this combination of production is attainable. In fact, it lies on the PPF line, which means Saudi Arabia cannot produce more of either cars or oil without producing less of the other. The same is true for the US. A production level of 300 million barrels of oil and 2.5 million cars is attainable, and lies on the PPF line.
