In Cobb Douglas Production function, sum of the exponents of capital and labor determines returns to scale of the production function. Also, the marginal product of labor is given by taking the derivative of the production function with respect to labor. This can be depicted as follows:

a. Suppose that a firm has the Cobb-Douglas production function = 12K0.75 0.25. Because this function exhibits returns to scale, the long-run average cost curve is , whereas the long-run total cost curve is upward-sloping, with slope. b. Now suppose that the firm's production function is = KL. Because this function exhibits returns to scale, the long-run average cost curve is upward-sloping , whereas the long-run total cost curve is upward-sloping, with slope. a. Suppose that a firm has the...
