Illustrate the concept of producer’s equilibrium? |
|
Answer» Producer equilibrium implies the situation where producer maximizes his output. It is also known as optimum combination of the factors of production. In short, the producer manufactures a given amount of output with ‘least cost combination of factors’ , with his given budget. Optimum Combination of Factors implies either: There is output maximisation for given inputs or there is cost minimisation for the given output. Conditions for Producer Equilibrium: The two conditions that are to be fulfilled for the attainment of producer equilibrium are: The iso – cost line must be tangent to iso – quant curve. At point of tangency, the iso-quant curve must be convex to the origin or MRTSLk must be declining. |
