Identifying Relative Input Intensity

A firm is evaluating three different technologies to produce a single unit of output. The table below shows the required inputs of labor and capital for each. Match each technology to the description that best characterizes its relative input intensity.

A manufacturing firm is analyzing three different technologies to produce one unit of its product. The table below details the labor and capital inputs required for each technology.

Statement: Technology Beta is relatively more labor-intensive than Technology Alpha.

Evaluating Production Technology Shifts

Strategic Technology Choice and Input Intensity

Labor-Saving Technology

A textile company is producing 100 meters of fabric and is evaluating the following production technologies. Each technology uses a different combination of labor (number of workers) and machinery (number of looms). Based on the data provided, which technology is the most labor-intensive?

A manufacturing firm is considering four different technologies to produce a standard widget. The table below shows the units of labor and capital required by each technology.

Arrange the technologies in order from the most labor-intensive to the least labor-intensive.
