Abstrakty
This paper is concerned with deriving, using the Volterra integral equation, a production function for a single product firm financing off-the-job training from its revenue from output. The short-run scenario where labour is the only variable factor of production is studied within the the condition for profit-maximisation. The study utilises the Cobb-Douglas production function wherein capital is fixed as a theoretical underpinning. The Volterra integral equation is solved using the differential transform method. The solution reveals that the production function of the firm is a transcendental function. Some propositions on the properties of the new production function are stated along with their proofs. The behaviour of the production function is demonstrated by way of simulation.
W artykule poszukuje się funkcji produkcji pojedynczego produktu w przedsiębiorstwie finansującym szkolenia ze środków uzyskanych ze sprzedaży tego produktu. Funkcja produkcji ma założoną formę równania całkowego Volterry a kryterium optymalizacji jest krótkoterminowa maksymalizacja zysku, w którym praca jest jedynym czynnikiem produkcji. W badaniu wykorzystano funkcję Cobba-Douglasa z ustaloną ilością kapitału. Wyniki wskazują, że otrzymana funkcja produkcji firmy jest funkcją analityczną, a wymagana część zysku potrzebna do sfinansowania szkolenia leży w przedziale z określoną górną granicą.
