Input Combinations and Outputs in the Olive Oil Production Function
For the simplified olive oil production function, where the firm's main choices are the number of workers () and the amount of energy (), it is possible to show the resulting output for various combinations of these two inputs. This relationship can be represented visually, for instance through a figure or a table, to illustrate how different levels of labor and energy combine to produce a specific quantity of olive oil.

An olive oil producer's technology is described by a production function with two inputs, labor and energy, and exhibits constant returns to scale. Currently, the facility uses 10 workers and 50 units of energy to produce 200 liters of olive oil per day. If the producer decides to use 30 workers and 150 units of energy, what will be the new daily output of olive oil?
Evaluating an Olive Oil Production Expansion Strategy
An olive oil producer's technology is described by a production function with two inputs, labor and energy. This technology exhibits constant returns to scale, meaning a proportional change in all inputs results in an equal proportional change in output. Which of the following scenarios, showing a change from an initial production level to a new one, is inconsistent with this technological property?
An olive oil producer's technology is described by a production function with two inputs, labor and energy, and exhibits constant returns to scale. If this producer doubles the amount of labor used while keeping the energy input constant, the total output of olive oil will also double.

Verifying Production Technology Properties
An olive oil producer's technology is described by a production function with two inputs, labor and energy, and exhibits constant returns to scale. Given a baseline production level where 10 workers and 20 units of energy produce 500 liters of olive oil, match each of the following new input combinations with its correct resulting output.

Cost-Effective Production Choice for Olive Oil
Scaling Olive Oil Production
Consider the following table which shows different combinations of labor (number of workers) and energy (units) for producing olive oil.
Combination Labor (Workers) Energy (Units) Output (Liters) A 6 40 500 B 5 50 500 C 4 75 500 D 5 60 550 Statement: The data indicates that to maintain an output of 500 liters, a firm must always increase energy usage by the same amount for every one worker it reduces.
A moneylender in a small farming community meticulously screens a new borrower. The lender questions the farmer, confirms their good reputation with neighbors, inspects their healthy-looking farm, and provides a small, successful trial loan. Despite these precautions, the farmer defaults on their first major loan due to a widespread crop disease that affects the entire region. What does this outcome reveal about the limitations of the lender's screening process?
