What is the difference between a production function and an​ isoquant? A. A production function describes the minimum output that can be achieved with any given combination of inputs. An isoquant identifies the different types of inputs that can be used to produce various levels of output. B. A production function describes the minimum output that can be achieved with any given combination of inputs. An isoquant identifies all of the different combinations of inputs that can be used to produce one particular level of output. C. A production function describes the maximum output that can be achieved with any given combination of inputs. An isoquant identifies the different types of inputs that can be used to produce various levels of output. D. A production function describes the maximum output that can be achieved with any given combination of inputs. An isoquant identifies all of the different combinations of inputs that can be used to produce one particular level of output.

Answer:

Option d: Production function describes the maximum output that can be achieved with any given combination of inputs. An isoquant identifies all of the different combinations of inputs that can be used to produce one particular level of output.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of Production

They includes Inputs in the production process (labor, capital, materials)

Production Function

This simply is that function that is displaying or showing highest output firm can produce. It depicts what technically feasible is and when firm operates efficiently.

Isoquant

This is simply refered to as a curve tbat depicts or shows all possible efficient combinations of input that are very able to produce a certain quantity of output. It usually a downward sloping and convex and it can never slope upward. This shows also that adding more inputs keeps output constant.

Isoquant Map

This is simply a graph showing a combination of a number of isoquants, used to describe a production function.
