Production With Two Variable Inputs Isoquants show combinations of two inputs that can produce the same level of output. Firms will only use combinations of two inputs that are in the economic region of production, which is defined by the portion of each isoquant that is negatively sloped.

Production Function Q = f(L, K) Returns to Scale Production Function Q = f(L, K) Q = f(hL, hK) If  = h, then f has constant returns to scale. If  > h, then f has increasing returns to scale. If  < h, the f has decreasing returns to scale. PowerPoint Slides by Robert F. Brooker Copyright (c) 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
