Need an answer asap!! 2. A good, y, can be produced using two inputs: Labour (L)...
1. Sketch the production isoquant for a production function that takes two inputs (e.g. y = f[l,k]). Show the cost minimizing combination of inputs by adding an isocost line to your sketch. (a) What is the relationship between the trs and the relative price of one input compared to the other at the cost minimizing combination of inputs? (b) What does the assumption of a diminishing technical rate of substitution (trs) mean? (What does a diminishing trs mean imply for...
1). Suppose that a firm uses inputs labour (L, measured in person hours) and capital (K, measured in machine hours) in the production of its output (Q) according to the production function Q min{2L, 3K} (a) Draw the isoquant line associated with 12 units of output. Measure K along the vertical axis and L along the horizontal axis. (b) Suppose that the price of labour is $2/person hour, and the price of capital is $4 / person hour. What is...
A firm uses labour and capital to produce output according to the production function ??(??, ??) = 4??0.5??0.5, where L is the number of units of labour and K is the units of capital. The cost of labour is $40 a unit and the cost of capital is $10 a unit. a) On a graph, draw an isocost line for this firm, showing combinations of capital and labour that cost $400 and another isocost line showing combinations that cost $200....
Question 1 (32 marks) Consider a firm which produces a good, y, using two inputs or factors of production, x1 and x2. The firm's production function describes the mathematical relationship between inputs and output, and is given by (a) Derive the degree of homogeneity of the firm's production function. 4 marks) (b) The set is the set of combinations of (xi,x2) which produce output level yo.S is a level curve of f and is referred to by economists as the...

Problem 3 [24 marks] A competitive firm uses two inputs, capital (k) and labour (), to produce one output, (y). The price of capital, W, is S1 per unit and the price of labor, wi, is SI per unit. The firm operates in competitive markets for outputs and inputs, so takes the prices as given. The production function is f(k,l) 3k025/025. The maximum amount of output produced for a givern amount of inputs is y(k, l)...
1. Consumer’s utility function is: U (X,Y) = 10X + Y. Consumer’s income M is 40 euros, the price per unit of good X (i.e. Px ) is 5 euros and the price per unit of good Y (i.e. Py) is 1 euro. a) What is the marginal utility of good X (MUx) for the consumer? ( Answer: MUx = 10) b) What is the marginal utility of good Y (MUy) for the consumer? ( Answer: MUy = 1) c)...
hi i need answer from part d
Question 2 (48 marks) Consider a firm which produces a good, y, using two factors of production, xi and x2 The firm's production function is Note that (4) is a special case of the production function in Question 1, in which α-1/2 and β-14. Consequently, any properties that the production function in Q1 has been shown to possess, must also be possessed by the production function defined in (4). The firm faces exogenously...
