Abstract
The linear programming model which is described in the following is based on a special type of production function, the so-called Leontief production function.
The Leontief production function is different from the general neoclassical production function in that it consists of straight lines and the isoquants are L-shaped, indicating that it is not possible to substitute between input factors, and that the input factors, therefore, are used at a fixed ratio.
