Suppose capital and labour are perfect substitutes in production for clothing: 2 units of capital or 2 units of labour produce 1 unit of clothing. Suppose capital and labour are perfect complements in production for food: 1 unit of capital and 1 unit of labour produce 1 unit of food. Suppose the economy has an endowment of 100 units of capital and 200 units of labour. Construct the production possibilities frontier for the economy.(Number the intercepts)
What is the opportunity cost of food in terms of clothing? (Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Suppose capital and labour are perfect substitutes for producing widgets and that it takes 1 unit of capital or 3 units of labour to produce one widget. If the price of labour is $4 and the price of capital is $16, how much labour and capital should a firm use to produce 30 widgets? Explain.

1. Suppose that, for the production process for quarks, labour and capital are gross complements. Using isoquant / isocost analysis, illustrate how the long-run quantity-demanded for labour would be affected by a decrease in the cost of capital. Illustrate both the “substitution effect” and the “scale effect.” 2. Suppose capital and labour are perfect substitutes for producing widgets and that it takes 1 unit of capital or 3 units of labour to produce one widget. If the price of labour...

4. Consider a production process where capital and labor are perfect complements – two units of capital are required for each unit of labor to produce four units of output. 1) Derive the production function for this production process. 2) If the wage rate is $5 per unit of labor and the rental rate of capital is $8 per unit of capital, how much capital and labor should the firm employ to minimize the cost of producing 100 units? 3)...

Suppose that labor (worker hours) and capital (machine hours) are perfect substitutes in the production of widgets. Each widget can be produced in 20 minutes by a worker or in 15 minutes by a machine. The price of labor is $20 per hour, and the price of capital is $30 per hour. Derive the equation for long-run total cost. a. ???? = 60? b. ???? = 170? / 12 c. ???? = 120? d. ???? = 20? / 3 e....

A firm uses labour and capital to produce output according to the production function ??(??, ??) = 4??0.5??0.5, where L is the number of units of labour and K is the units of capital. The cost of labour is $40 a unit and the cost of capital is $10 a unit. a) On a graph, draw an isocost line for this firm, showing combinations of capital and labour that cost $400 and another isocost line showing combinations that cost $200....
