Open in App
Solution

The production function of a firm depicts the relationship between the inputs used in the production process and the final output produced. Algebraically, a production function is represented as,

Qx = f (L,K)

Where,

L represents units of labour used (input 1)

K represents units of capital used (input 2)

Q x represents the unit of output produced.

Now, the output per unit of labour by using a given amount of capital depends upon the level of technology used in production which is assumed to be constant or given in the production function. This is because a change in technology will change the output produced per unit of labour. Therefore, if the level of technology will change, the whole production function will change. Hence, a production function is associated with a given level of technology.
