Question Completion Status: O all costs. QUESTION 3 Your firm must produce a specified output level. The firm uses capital and labor as inputs. If the price of capital is $40, the price of labor is $100, the marginal product of capital is 20, and the marginal product of labor is 40, then: the firm is maximizing profit but not minimizing total cost. O the firm should use less labor and more capital to minimize total cost. 0 the firm is minimizing its total cost.

    *provide an explanation/reasoning for each answer The own-wage elasticity of labor demand is higher when no other inputs can easily be substituted for labor. the demand for the output good is less elastic. the supply of other inputs is more elastic the costs of labor are a smaller share of total production costs. none of the above Another input is more likely to be a substitute for labor if the demand for the output good is less elastic. the supply...
