Suppose labor (L) and capital (K) are perfect substitute inputs. Each additional hour of labor increases output by one unit, and each additional hour of capital increases production by 2 units. Workers are paid a wage rate (w) of $20/hour, and capital costs a rate of $50/hour. In the short-run, capital is fixed at 2. a. Mathematically derive and graphically depict Karen’s MPL and APL curves (on the same graph). b. Mathematically derive and graphically depict Aisling’s TC and VC...
