The graph below shows a firm's isoquants and isocosts. The firm is initially producing Q-20 with the cost minimizing combination of K and L, where Q is output, Kis capital and Lis labor. Suppose the owner decides to expand production to Q=40. However, he signed a lease on the capital necessary to produce Q=20, which he cannot get out of in the short run. Are the short run total costs of producing Q=40 smaller or larger than the long run...

Let K be the level of capital in the short run. The prices of capital and labor are r = 10 and w-5, respectively. For each of the following production functions, (1) derive the short-run cost function (5 pts), (2) derive the long-run cost function (5 pts), and (3) illustrate how you derive the long-run cost function with isoquants and isocosts (5 pts). Hint: for the long-run cost function, first set up the cost minimization problem. (a) (15 pts) f(K,...

6. (10 points) Suppose a firm is facing the isoquants and isocosts from the graph below. Assume that the firm is currently producing 20 units of output using the optimal input-combination Explain carefully why the firm would have a short-run cost distortion if wanted to increase input from 20 to 30 units. Be specific. Make sure to reference points, curves, and information from the graph in your answer for credit
