Production Function

Economics ⇒ Consumer and Producer Behaviour

Production Function starts at 11 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Production Function. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Explain the concept of diminishing returns to scale.
Explain the concept of isoquants in the context of production function.
Explain the concept of technological change in the context of production function.
Explain the difference between fixed and variable factors of production with examples.
If a firm increases labour from 4 to 5 units and total product increases from 80 to 90 units, what is the marginal product of the 5th unit of labour?
If a firm increases the number of workers from 5 to 6 and output increases from 100 units to 120 units, what is the marginal product of the 6th worker?
If a production function exhibits constant returns to scale, what happens to output if all inputs are tripled?
If the total product is 200 units and 10 units of labour are used, what is the average product of labour?
