      Question

      A "Homothetic" production function is a monotonic

      transformation of a homogeneous function. For such functions, the Expansion Path is always:
      A A horizontal line Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B A vertical line Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C A straight line through the origin Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D A rectangular hyperbola Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      In homothetic functions, the slope of the isoquants (MRTS) is constant along any ray from the origin. Since the expansion path is defined by a constant MRTS (where it equals the fixed w/r ratio), the path must be a straight line starting from the origin.
