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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
