Characteristics of a Fixed-Proportions Production Technology
A specific production process for olive oil requires a strict combination of 4 workers and 360 units of energy to produce 100 liters of output. Adding more of one input without a proportional increase in the other does not increase output. Analyze the economic characteristics of this type of production process. In your answer, discuss the concept of input substitutability and describe the shape of the isoquant that would represent this technology.

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.
