Answer 5

It is given that an average laborer can pick 100 pounds of green pepper and thus L units of Laborer can pick 100*L pounds of green pepper.

Production function shows the relation between Output(Q) and input(here L)

Thus Production function is given by :

Q = 100L where Q = Total pounds of green peppers and L = Number of Laborer.

Hence Q = 100L ------------------------------------------Production function.

Cost(C) = wL.

From production function we have Q = 100L => L = Q/100

Thus C = wL = wQ/100 --------------Cost Function

Now we want Q = 100,000

Thus Total Cost(C) = wQ/100 = (w/100)*100,000 = 1000w

Hence, Total Cost of producing 100,000 pounds of pepper is 1000w.
