b) technological relationship between physical inputs and output
c) financial relationship between physical inputs and output

Answer »Answer: (b)
Production involves the transformation of inputs into outputs. The output is a function of the input. The functional relationship between physical inputs and the physical output of a firm is called the production function.

The production function states the maximum quantity of output that can be produced from any given quantity of various inputs during a given period of time.
Question : 24 [SSC DEO & LCD 2011]
The marginal propensity to consume lies between
a) ∞ to ∞
b) 0 to 1
c) 0 to ∞
d) 1 to ∞
Answer »Answer: (b)
The Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is measured as the ratio of the change in consumption to the change in income, thus giving us a figure between 0 and 1.
The MPC can be more than one if the subject borrowed money to finance expenditures higher than their income. One minus the MPC equals the marginal propensity to save.
Question : 25 [SSC SO 2003]
Enterpreneurial ability is a special kind of labour that
a) manages to avoid losses by continual innovation
b) is hired out to firms at high wages
c) organizes the process of production
d) produces new capital goods to earn interest
Answer »Answer: (c)
In economics, factors of production are the inputs to the production process. Factors of production’ may also refer specifically to the ‘primary factors’, which are stocks including land, labour (the ability to work), and capital goods applied to production. Many economists today consider “human capital” (skills and education) as the fourth factor of production, with entrepreneurship as a form of human capital.
In markets, entrepreneurs combine the other factors of production, land, labour, and capital, in order to make a profit. Often these entrepreneurs are seen as innovators, developing new ways to produce and new products. In a planned economy, central planners decide how land, labour, and capital should be used to provide maximum benefit for all citizens.
