![2. Inputs and outputs
Poornima's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Detroit that sells gluten-free pizzas. Poornima's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the
two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Poornima signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of
this, and because Poornima's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Poornima cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of
pizzas in the short run.
However, Poornima's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each
Monday, Poornima lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are
▼ inputs,
and the ovens are

Poornima's daily production schedule is presented in the following table.
