A firm’s production technology is given by the production function
q = 0.25 LK
where L represents labor hours, K machine hours and q the amount of output. The market wage and rental rates are, w= $16 and r = $256.
The firm is operating in the long run where it can adjust both inputs.
(b) Calculate the short run total cost if q =100 and w= $16 and r = $256, but capital, K is fixed at 2.
(c) Calculate the short run total cost if q =100 and w= $16 and r = $256, but capital, K is fixed at 2.
(d) Without assuming a specific numerical production target, but using w= $16 and r = $256 calculate the equation for the long run total cost function (in terms of q).
(Hint: Assume that the level of output is q. Using the above w, r values first determine the least cost combinations of L and K)
(e) Using Excel- Solver verify your answers to (b) above. (Yes, we need to use Solver for this one.)

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....
