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, … )

Page 2: Production Function

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)
