Suppose in the short run a firm’s production function is given by Q = L1/2*K1/2, and that K is fixed at K = 49. If the price of Labor, w = $6 per unit of Labor, what is the firm’s Marginal Cost of production when the firm is producing 28 units of output?
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?
Suppose a firm’s production function is given by Q = L1/2*K1/2.

[Short-Run Production] Suppose that a firm is producing in the short run with output given by: Q = 200.5L – 2.5L2, The firm hires labor at a wage of $25 per hour and sells the good in a competitive market at P = $50 per unit. Find the firm’s optimal use of labor and associated level of output. (For extra practice, what is the firm’s associated profit?) I have already finished and went to check my work on Chegg and...
A firm has the production function F(L, K) = L1/2 + K1/2. The price of labor is $30 and the price of capital is $10.
