The optimal choice of input combination in long run,
MPk/r=MPlL/w
(2*L^1/3)/(3*27*k^1/3=(k^2/3)/(3*4*L^2/3)
8L=27K
So K=8,
8L=27*8
L=27
Q=8^2/3*27^1/3=4*3=12
Option B is right

Given the production function
, if the rental price of capital is 0.133, Y=690, and K=1,728,
what is the value of the exponent
? If A=1, and the real wage is 1.15, is this economy in a long-run
equilibrium?
I know rental price of capital equals the marginal product of
capital, but I have no idea how to solve MPK, and progresses
afterward.
Please give your solution in detail.
