Does the following production function have diminishing marginal returns to labor in the SR?
Q = 5LK1/2
yes
no
Cannot be determined from the information
Marginal Product of Labour(MPL)= ∆Q/∆L
Marginal Product of Labour(MPL)= 5K1/2
∆MPL/∆L= 0.
Since Change in MPL with respect to L is not less than 0, then the production function does not have diminishing marginal returns to labour in the short run.
Moreover, Since ∆MPL/∆L= 0, then we can't tell whether MPL is Diminishing or Increasing.
Hence, it cannot be determined from the information.
Therefore, third option is correct.

You might think that when a production function has a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution of labor for capital, it cannot have increasing marginal products of capital and labor. Show that this is not true, using the production function Q = L2K2.
a. Complete the following table.
b. Explain whether the production function satisfies the
diminishing marginal returns property.
c. Draw the firm’s short-run production function and verify
graphically that average product is falling when it is higher than
the marginal product and that total product is falling when
marginal product is negative.

The production function 9 = k1.270.5 exhibits: a. increasing returns to scale but no diminishing marginal productivities. b. decreasing returns to scale. C. increasing returns to scale and diminishing marginal product for / only. d. increasing returns to scale and diminishing marginal products for both k and I.
If labor and capital both exhibit increasing marginal products, then a production function cannot exhibit diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution of labor for capital. a. True b. False
b. Does this production function have an uneconomic region? If
yes, find the region.
c. Based on your answer to (b), sketch a graph of two isoquants
