72 Partial Derivatives: Problem 16 Next Previous Problem List (1 point) Suppose the f(x, y) is a smooth function and that its partial derivatives have the values, f(0,-4) 5 and f,(0, -4) =-1. Given that f(0,-4) = 0, use this information to estimate the value of f(1,-3) Note this is analogous to finding the tangent line approximation to a function of one variable. In fancy terms, it is the first Taylor approximation. Estimate of (integer value) f(1,-3) 72 Partial Derivatives:...
1. Suppose a firm is producing output according to Q=1001KL. A. Draw a sketch of this firm's isoquant map B. What equation do you use to find a cost-minimizing combination of inputs for a certain output level Q.? K C. The marginal products of labor and capital are given by MP, = 50, and L MPK = 50, L respectively. The price of labor is $5 per unit, and the price of K capital is $20 per unit. What is...
2) Consider the following production function for shirts: q=13/4K1/4, where L is worker-hours, and K is sewing machine-hours. The cost of one hour of labor L is w The cost of renting a sewing machine for one hour is r. What type of returns to scale does this production function have? a) b) Compute the marginal product of labor L and marginal product of capital K. What is the marginal rate of technical substitution of labor for capital .e. how...
HW4 2: Problem 10 Previous Problem List Next (1 point) Oil leaks from a tank. At hour t = 0 there are 220 gallons of oil in the tank. Each hour after that, 7% of the oil leaks out. (a) What percent of the original 220 gallons has leaked out after 11 hours? (b) If Q(t) = Qoek is the quantity of oil remaining after t hours, find the value of k. k = (c) What does k tell you...

NYY is a winter jacket manufacturer company with manufacturing facilities in the U.S.A. Winter jacket demand is seasonal peaking in the winter as the temperatures along the East Coast dipping well below zero. Production of winter jackets requires some certain amount of work and NYY jacket manufacturer has multiple options to handle seasonal demand. The first option is NYY can prefer to increase number of workers by adding workers during the peak season. Second option is NYY can subcontract out...
