A US electronics firm is considering moving its production to a plant in Mexico. Its estimated production function is q = 10L0.32K0.56. In the US, the wage rate and the rental cost of capital are same and equal to $15. At the Mexican plant, the firm will pay a 10% lower wage and a 10% higher cost of capital. a) (10 points) What are the L and K and cost of producing q = 250 units in both countries? b)...

A firm has a Cobb-Douglas production function of Q = K^(0.25) L^(0.75) (a) Does this production technology exhibit increasing, constant, or decreasing returns to scale? (b) Suppose that the rental rate of capital is r = 1, the wage rate is w = 1, and the ?rm wants to produce Q = 3. In the long-run, what combination of L and K should they use? (It would be good to practice doing this with the Lagrangian, even if you can...

A firm’s production technology is given by the production function q = 0.25 LK where L represents labor hours, K machine hours and q the amount of output. The market wage and rental rates are, w= $16 and r = $256. The firm is operating in the long run where it can adjust both inputs. (a) Suppose that the firm currently is using ten labor hours for each machine hour. Is it minimizing its long run total cost? If so...
