for any finite
K . We can show from an analogous argument that
F
(0
, L) = 0 for any finite
L.
These results verify that each input is essential for production.
To demonstrate that output goes to infinity when either input goes to infinity, note that
F
(K, L) =
L ·
f (k) =
K · [
f (k)/k]
Therefore, for any finite
K ,
lim
L
→∞
[
F
(K, L)] =
K · lim
k
→0
[
f
(k)/k] =
K · lim
k
→0
[
f
(k)] = ∞
where the last equalities follow from l’Hˆopital’s rule (because essentiality implies
f [0]
= 0)
and the Inada condition. We can show from an analogous argument that lim
K
→∞
[
F
(K, L)] = ∞. Therefore, output goes to infinity when either input goes to infinity.
