A self-sufficient farmer's production technology determines the maximum amount of grain they can produce for any given number of work hours. This relationship defines a boundary of all possible combinations of daily free time and grain output. Match each location relative to this boundary with its correct description.

Angela's Production Function
A self-sufficient farmer uses a specific technique to grow a crop. This technique determines all the possible combinations of daily free time and crop output the farmer can achieve. The farmer then discovers a new, more productive method that yields more of the crop for the same number of hours worked. How does this technological improvement affect the set of all feasible combinations of free time and crop output?
Evaluating a Farmer's Production Plan
Feasibility of Production Outcomes
A farmer's production technology establishes the maximum amount of a crop that can be grown for any given number of work hours. Therefore, a combination of free time and crop output is only considered 'feasible' if it lies exactly on the boundary of what this technology allows.

For a self-sufficient producer, the boundary of all achievable combinations of output and free time is defined by their ____, which specifies the maximum output possible for any given amount of labor input.
A self-sufficient farmer's daily choices are constrained by their farming technique. Arrange the following statements to describe the logical sequence from the technological constraint to the full range of possible outcomes for the farmer.
Comparing Production Technologies and Feasible Outcomes
Analyzing a Production Shortfall
A farmer's production technology determines the relationship between hours worked and grain produced. The maximum possible output is 60 bushels of grain, which requires 12 hours of work per day. The technology also shows that working more hours always produces more grain, but at a decreasing rate. Which of the following combinations of work and output is technologically impossible for the farmer?
