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 ·...
Part 2: Short answer questions Question 1 (4 points): A sausage firm has a production function of the form: q = 5LK+K+L where q is units per day, L is units of labor input and K is units of capital output. The marginal product of the two inputs are: MPL = 5K+1, MPK = 5L +1. Price per unit of labor: w= $15, price per unit of capital: v= $15. Both labor and capital are variable. a. Write down the...

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...
