Production Function
A production function shows the functional relationship given by technology between a firm’s physical rates of input and its physical rates of output per unit of time.
TPP = f ( a, b, c, … )
Characteristics of a Production Function
Production refers to the transformation of inputs into output;
A production function is a flow concept; A production function is a physical,
technological, or engineering concept, and yet it has an economic dimension to it; and
In production analysis, factors of production can be separated into fixed and variable factors.
Value Relationships
Value Total Product (TVP)
VTP = TPP * P Value Marginal Product (MVP)
VMP = MPP * P Marginal Revenue Product (MRP)
MRP = MPP * MR Marginal Factor Cost (MFC)
