Time left 2:57:58 Firm A produces some output ya from inputs 1 and 2 according to the production function yA=fA(X1,X2). Firm A currently uses the quantities x1=10, x2=0 of the inputs. At this combination of inputs, firm A's technical rate of substitution TRSA(10,0) of input 2 to input 1 (that is, AX2/4x1(10,0)) is equal to -2. Firm B produces a different output y from the same inputs 1 and 2 according to a different production function YB=fB(X1,X2). Firm B currently uses the quantities x1=20, X2=30 of the inputs. At this combination of inputs, firm B's technical rate of substitution TRSB(20,30) of input 2 to input 1 (that is, AX2/4x1(20,30)) is equal to -3. Is it possible to increase both firm A's production ya and firm B's production ys by transferring to. Firm B some quantity of input 1 Firm A is currently using and transferring to Firm A some quantity of input 2 Firm B is currently using? O a. No b. Not enough information to answer question. O c. Yes
