Use the following two statements to answer this question: I. Production functions describe what is technically feasible when the firm operates efficiently.
II) The production function shows the least cost method of producing a given level of output.

A) Both I and II are true.
B) I is true, and II is false.
C) I is false, and II is true.
D) Both I and II are false.

Production Functions

Mathematical models that describe the relationship between input factors (like labor and capital) and the output of goods or services.

Technically Feasible

Refers to a project or proposal that is possible and practical to achieve with the current level of technology.

Least Cost

A principle or strategy focused on achieving a particular objective at the minimum possible cost.

  • Develop an understanding of the production function model and its importance in optimizing efficiency in various forms of production.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
I is true because production functions indeed describe the technically feasible ways of producing output efficiently, without specifying the cost. II is false because the production function itself does not show the least cost method of production; it simply shows the maximum output possible from a given set of inputs. Cost considerations are part of cost functions, not production functions.
