Problem 2 [21 marks] Consider a firm that uses two inputs. The quantity used of input 1 is denoted by x, and the quantity used of input 2 is denoted by x2. The firm produces and sells one good using the production function f(x1, x2)-4x053x25. The final good is sold at price P $10. The prices of inputs 1 and 2 are w$2 and w2 $3, respectively. The markets for the final good and both...

TUTORIAL2 Chapter 7 Part 1 Key Concepts and Equations: Production Isoquant: shows all combinations of input quantities that yield the same level of output. Higher isoquant: higher level of output Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution: MRTS is the slope of the isoquant at any input combination. It tells us the rate at which we must increase the qty of input 2 per unit decrease in qty of input 1. MRTS diminishes as we move down the isoquant from left to...

3) Consider the production function ? = 6? 0.3? 0.6 . The marginal products are ??? = 1.8? −0.7? 0.6 and ??? = 3.6? 0.3? −0.4 . a. In the short run assume that capital is fixed at ? = 10. Derive formulas for the short-run Total Product (TP), Average Product (APL), and Marginal Product (MPL). Graph these three functions. b. In the long run, capital is not fixed. Graph the isoquant for ? = 6. Identify and label three...
