A firm produces output Q by using capital K and labor L in fixed proportions, i.e. Q = F (K ,L ) = min {K, L/3}. The price of a unit of labor is w = 6, the price of a unit of capital is r = 2 and the price of output is p = 20. a) Draw the isoquant for Q = 8. b) Find the marginal product of labor. Suppose that (in part c and d) the...

Imagine that your firm has a production function given by Q = 2 KL, where K is capital and L is labor. If capital rents for $100 per unit per day, labor can be hired for $200 per unit per day, and the firm is minimizing costs, a. What is the total cost of producing q units of output? b. What is the average cost of producing q units of output? c. What is the marginal of producing q units...

A firm produces output according to the production function: Q = F(K,L) = 2K + 2L. a. How much output is produced when K = 2 and L = 3? b. If the wage rate is $65 per hour and the rental rate on capital is $35 per hour, what is the cost-minimizing input mix for producing 4 units of output? Capital: Labor:

[Short-Run Production] Suppose that a firm is producing in the short run with output given by: Q = 200.5L – 2.5L2, The firm hires labor at a wage of $25 per hour and sells the good in a competitive market at P = $50 per unit. Find the firm’s optimal use of labor and associated level of output. (For extra practice, what is the firm’s associated profit?) I have already finished and went to check my work on Chegg and...

Acme Container Corporation produces egg cartons that are sold to egg distributors. Acme has estimated this production function for its egg carton division: Q = 25L0.6K0.4, where Q = output measured in one thousand carton lots, L = labor measured in person hours, and K = capital measured in machine hours. Acme currently pays a wage of $10 per hour and considers the relevant rental price for capital to be $25 per hour. i) The marginal product of...

You manage a plant that mass-produces engines by teams of workers using assembly machines. The technology is summarized by the production function qequals=2020KL where q is the number of engines per week, K is the number of assembly machines, and L is the number of labor teams. Each assembly machine rents for requals=$50 comma 00050,000 per week, and each team costs wequals=$4 comma 0004,000 per week. Engine costs are given by the cost of labor teams and machines, plus $5...
