What is production function?
Function showing the highest output a firm can produce for every specified
combination of inputs
What is the equation of the production function?
Week 3: Production (CH 6) 1
, q = F (K,L)
What does the above equation apply to?
Applies to a given technology

What is technically feasible when the firm operates efficiently
