The Fixed Proportion Production Function, also known as a Leontief Production Function implies that fixed factors of production such as land, labor, raw materials are used to produce a fixed quantity of an output and these production factors cannot be substituted for the other factors.

What is the difference between variable proportions and returns to scale?
what is relationship between change in input and output. In the return's to scale (long term concept) all the factor are variable but in the variable proportions are some factor variable and some factors are fixed.
Write four assumptions for your PPC model in economics?
Resources are fixed, All resources are fully employed, Technology is fixed & Only two things can be produced.
Can you operate at a point outside the production possibility frontier?
No. It either cannot be maintained for long or it is impossible because the production possibility curve (PPC) shows the available areas of operation to a firm or economy to operate within the frontier, due to a fixed and scarce amount of resources and technology. Therefore, it is impossible, because of fixed levels of technology and resources, for the firm or economy to operate outside the PPC.~MB
Difference between running a firm in a short run and in a long run?
The short run is a firm's technology and the size of its factory, store, or office are fixed. In the long run, a firm is able to adopt new technology and to increase or decrease the size of its physical plant.
What is the significance of the Leontief production function in economic analysis and how does it differ from other production functions?
The Leontief production function is significant in economic analysis because it focuses on the fixed proportions of inputs needed to produce a certain level of output. This differs from other production functions, such as the Cobb-Douglas function, which allow for varying proportions of inputs. The Leontief function is useful for analyzing industries where inputs must be used in specific ratios, like in manufacturing or agriculture.
