A production function is a technological relationship between:

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When we talk about a production function, we are describing how inputs, or factors of production, are transformed into outputs. 
Option 1: 'factor prices and the marginal product of factors.' This combines costs with a derived concept (marginal product) that describes the additional output from an extra unit of input, not the core relationship a production function expresses. So this is not the standard definition.
Option 2: 'factors of production and factor prices.' While factor prices affect decisions and costs, the production function itself focuses on the technical relationship between inputs and output, not on prices. Therefore this pairing mischaracterizes the function's purpose.
Option 3: 'factors of production and the quantity of output produced.' This aligns with the standard definition: the production function maps inputs (factors of production) to a maximum achievable output quantity, given technological capabilities. This is the correct conceptual pairing.
Option 4: 'factor prices and the quantity of output produced.' Here, the quantity of output is linked to prices in the broader context of supply decisions, but the production function itself is not defined by factor prices; it is about inputs and output, making this option inaccurate.
