Answer to Question 1

Production refers to the process of transforming inputs to outputs. The relationship between the quantity of inputs used and the quantity of outputs produced is referred to as the production function.
In terms of usage of inputs, the basic difference between the short run and the long run is that in the short run only some of the firm's inputs can be varied while other inputs are fixed. However, in the long run, a firm can vary all of its inputs and there are no fixed inputs.
