2 goods (perfect complements) production function:
. Fixed cost = 3. Find the supply function.
q= f(L) = (30L)^0.5
Squaring both sides
q^2 = 30L
L= 30/q^2
Variable cost= VC= wL = 30w/q^2
Marginal cost is the supply curve: MC= P
MC= d(VC)/dq= -60w/q^3
P= -60w/q^3
q= (-60w/P)^1/3
This is the supply function.

Question 4 a) For the production function f(L,K)= L13K2/3, find the long run cost function, marginal cost function and average cost function. (20 points) b) For the same production function above, find the short run variable cost function and total cost function when capital is fixed at 500 units. (10 Points) Question 5 Suppose inputs can be perfectly substituted at a constant rate of two units of labor for every one unit of capital, while producing the same level of...
Specific Output Functions, Q = f(L,K): Below are some specific output functions. For each production function (1) Explain how the firm uses the inputs capital (K), and labor (L): (2) Provide an illustration of the corresponding isoquants the preference yield - include three isoquants with unique levels of output; (3) Provide a general form of the production function and create two specific production functions; and (4) Calculate the MRTS Lx for each of your proposed production functions (if possible). (1)...
Expenditure function for perfect complements Derive the expenditure function associated with the utility function ?(?, ?) = ???{3?, ?}
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)...
Goods 1 and 2 are perfect complements for Kane. He always consumes these two goods in the ratio of 2 units of good for every unit of good 1. The price of good 1 is $1.00, and the price of good 2 is $4.00. Kane has $819.00 to spend Give your answers to two decimal places Part 1 The substitution effect of a change in the price of good 2 from 54.00 to $6.00 will reduce the demand for good 2 by units. Part...
12. Consider a firm with production function f(K,L) = K+L. (a) Suppose that capital level is currently fixed at K = 10. Find the short term production cost function for producing outputs greater than or equal to 10 units when w = 1 and r = 1. (b) Suppose wage goes up to w' = 2 while the price of capital remains same at r = 1. Find the new short-run cost function for producing output greater than or equal...

Suppose a consumer views two goods, X and Y, as perfect complements. Her utility function is given by U = MIN [2X, Y]. Sketch the graph of the consumers indifference curve that goes through the bundle X = 7 and Y = 8. Put the amount of Y on the vertical axis, and the amount of X on the horizontal axis. Which of the three assumptions that we made about consumer preferences is violated in this case?
a firm produces output according to the production function Q=4K+8L where K is capital and L is labour. in this production function are capital and labour (a) perfect complements (b) perfect substitutes (c) imperfect substitutes or (d) perfect substitues as long as labour is less than 8 and perfect complements when labour is more than 8.
The production function is given by f (L) = 6L^2/3 . Suppose that the cost per unit of labour is $16 and the price of output is $12. How many units of labour will the firm hire? 54 27 13.50 81 9
