Calculating Resource Inefficiency in Fixed-Proportions Production
An olive oil production process uses a fixed-proportions technology where 100 liters of oil requires exactly 4 workers and 360 units of energy. If a producer has 10 workers and 720 units of energy available, what quantity of each input will be left unused after maximizing production?

A specific production technology for olive oil requires a fixed ratio of 4 workers and 360 units of energy to produce 100 liters of oil. If a producer has 12 workers and 900 units of energy available, what is the maximum amount of olive oil they can produce?
Cost-Effective Production Choice
A specific olive oil production process requires a fixed combination of 4 workers and 360 units of energy to produce 100 liters of oil. If a producer using this process currently employs 4 workers and 360 units of energy, hiring a fifth worker while keeping the energy input unchanged will lead to an increase in oil production.

A specific olive oil production process requires a fixed combination of 4 workers and 360 units of energy to produce 100 liters of oil. If a producer is already using exactly 4 workers and 360 units of energy, the additional output gained from hiring a fifth worker while keeping the energy input the same is ___ liters.
