The following production function F(K,L) = K + (1/3)L exhibits a. increasing returns to scale. b....
Returns to scale. A production function has constant returns to scale with respect to inputs with inputs K and L if for any z > 0: F(z · K, z ·L) = zF(K, L), For example, for a production function with constant returns to scale, doubling the amount of each input (i.e., setting z = 2) will lead to a doubling of the output from the production function. A production function has increasing returns to scale if for any z >1: F(z ·...

For the production function F(L,K)=(L+K)^2 find whether the firm has constant, increasing or decreasing returns to scale. . A firm has monthly production function F(L,K) = L+√1+K, where L is worker hours per month and K is square feet of manufacturing space. A. Does the firm's technology satisfy the Productive Inputs Principle? B. What is the firm’s MRTSlk at input combination (L, K)? Does the firm’s technology have a declining MRTS? C. Does the firm have increasing, decreasing, or constant...

Returns to scale in production: Do the following production function exhibit increasing, constant, or decreasing returns to scale in K and L? (Assume A is some fixed positive number.) (a) Y= K1/3L1/2 (b) Y=AK2/12/3 (c) Y= K1/2L1/2 (d) Y=K+ L (e) Y = K1/2L1/2 + L 2/3TI/3 2/3TI/3
Consider the production function given by y = f(L,K) = L^(1/2) K^(1/3) , where y is the output, L is the labour input, and K is the capital input. (a) Does this exhibit constant, increasing, or decreasing returns to scale? (b) Suppose that the firm employs 9 units of capital, and in the short-run, it cannot change this amount. Then what is the short-run production function? (c) Determine whether the short-run production function exhibits diminishing marginal product of labour. (d)...
