固定比例与完全替代
这两种极端技术将其他所有技术夹在中间:固定比例技术 f 等于 ax1 与 bx2 中的较小者,其等产量线呈 L 形,无法进行替代;完全替代技术 f 等于 ax1 加 bx2,其等产量线为直线,替代比率恒定。

5. The binding input
For f equal to min of 2x1 and x2, what is output at (10, 12)?
6. The kink line
Where do the kinks of the isoquants of f equal min of 2x1 and x2 lie?
7. Perfect substitutes TRS
For f equal to 2x1 plus 3x2, what is the TRS and how does it vary along an isoquant?
8. Substitution and prices
Why do kinked technologies ignore relative input prices for the mix?
9. Linear output
For f equal to 2x1 plus 3x2, compute output at (5, 4), and write the number.
10. Kink output
For f equal to min of 2x1 and x2, compute output at the kink bundle with x1 equal to 3 and x2 equal to 6, and write the number.
11. The short arm again
For f equal to min of 2x1 and x2, what is output at the bundle (4, 10)?
12. A linear corner
For f equal to 2x1 plus 3x2, what is output at the bundle (0, 7)?
13. The tie on the input side
For f equal to 2x1 plus 3x2 with input prices w1 of 2 and w2 of 3, which input mix does a cost-minimizer choose?
14. Excess capacity wasted
For f equal to min of 2x1 and x2 with x2 fixed at 6, x1 rises from 3 to 5. What happens to output?
15. Output off the kink
For f equal to min of 2x1 and x2, compute output at the bundle (4, 10), and write the number.
16. Linear output on the axis
For f equal to 2x1 plus 3x2, compute output at the bundle (0, 7), and write the number.
