Do the following production functions exhibit increasing, constant, or decreasing returns to scale? (show your work to illustrate the answer), where Q is quantity of output, K is the amount of capital used, and L is the amount of labor used. a) Q=K^1/3 L^2/3 b) Q=7K^1/5 L^3/5 c) Q=4K+8L d) Q=3k^5 L^4
Determine whether the following production functions exhibit constant, increasing, or decreasing returns to scale. L, K, and H are inputs and Q is the output in each production function. Initially, set each input = 100 and determine the output. Then increase each input by 2% and determine the corresponding output to see if constant, increasing, or decreasing returns to scale occur. (a) Q = 0.5L + 2K + 40H (b) Q = 3L + 10K +...
