UNIT –II THEORY OF PRODUCTION AND COST ANALYSIS Production Function:- The production function expresses a functional relationship between physical inputs and physical outputs of a firm at any particular time period. The output is thus a function of inputs. Mathematically production function can be written as Q= f (L1,L2,C,O,T) Where “Q” stands for the quantity of output and various ...
Theory of the Firm The Firm’s Problem: Costs and Prots Firm’s Problem: Description • We consider a rm producing a single good Q using two inputs: L (labour) and K (capital). • The technology of the rm is described by the production function, F(L,K), which provides the maximum level of output that can be obtained for each input combination, (L,K). &bull ...
