Suppose a firm has a production function given by Q = L1/2 K1/2. Therefore, MPL = K1/2 / 2L1/2 and MPK = L1/2 / 2K1/2 The firm can purchase labor, L at a price w = 36, and capital, K at a price of r = 9. a) What is the firm’s Total Cost function, TC(Q)? b) What is the firm’s marginal cost of production?
Consider a production function of three inputs, labor, capital, and materials, given by Q= LKM
Consider a production function of three inputs, labor, capital, and materials, given by Q= LKM. The marginal products associated with this production function are as follows: MPL = KM, MPk = LM, and MPM = LK. Let w = 5, r = 1, and m = 2, where m is the price per unit of materials. (a) Suppose that the firm is required to produce Q units of output. Show how the cost-minimizing quantity of labor depends on the quantity Q....
