Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Train tracks between two cities are an example of an indivisible input because they cannot be easily divided or used in smaller quantities. The production process requires a certain amount of train tracks to be in place in order to operate efficiently, and it is not cost-effective or practical to use only a portion of tracks.  The other options (A, B, and C) are divisible inputs because they can be used in varying quantities, such as hiring more or less labor, using more or less flour, or cutting different amounts of wood.
