The production of Florida strawberries uses two inputs: labor (L) and capital (K). The following production function describes how these inputs are combined to produce bushels of oranges. f(L,K) = 5(1/2 + 3K1/2 1) Determine what kind of returns to scale this production function exhibits (HINT: labor is the "x" variable - the one that goes on the horizontal axis). 2) What is the formula for that kind of returns to scale? (HINT: use f(L,K)) 3) What is the general...

Consider a production function Q=Q(K,L)=6K^(1/2)L^(1/3) with K as capital and L as labor input. Let the price per unit of output be P=$0.50, the cost or rental rate per unit of capital be r=$0.10 and let the price (wage rate) of labor be w=$1. a) find the profit max level of K and L and check with second order condition (my answer was L=3.375 and K=1.5) b) Find max profit (I got profit=1.986)

1. A firm's production function is f(K, L) = (K-1 + L-1)-1 = 1 a. Solve for the firm's long-run conditional factor demands, K(r,w,9) and L(r, w,9). b. The plant manager tells you “At our current output level, a $1 increase in the wage rate would raise our total costs by $280." Use Shephard's Lemma and the CES tangency condition to infer (approximately) what current output is.
