Consider a firm that faces the following production function: q = f(L, K) = L1/2 K1/2 where q is output, L is labor, and K is capital. Use this production function to answer the following questions. (a) What is the marginal product of labor (MPL)? (b) Does the MPL follow the law of diminishing returns? How do you know? (c) What is the marginal product of capital (MPK)? (d) Does the MPK follow the law of diminishing returns? How do...

Problem 5: Consider the following variation of the aggregate production function. Now firms must use oil M to produce output (in addition to labor and capital). The price of a unit of oil is p max II, = AK“LPM? – w L - rK – PM (a) Find a first-order condition for the firm's demand for oil. (b) What must be true about the parameters a, b, and y if this production function exhibits constant...
A firm has the production function F(L, K) = L1/2 + K1/2. The price of labor is $30 and the price of capital is $10. The firm has a production goal of 100 units of output. a) Carefully write out this firm’s cost minimization problem, using the particulars of this problem. b) Give two equations—particular to this problem—that the solution satisfies. c) Solve for the firm’s optimal input bundle. d) Determine the firm’s cost of producing 100 units of output....
Question 4 a) The firm ACME has the production function f ( K , L)=K 2 3 L 2 3 . Calculate an expression for the marginal product of labour, L , and establish if it is increasing, constant or decreasing. Verify if ACME’s production technology exhibits diminishing, constant or increasing returns to scale. (6p) b) Set up ACME’s long run profit maximization problem and derive the factor demands for optimal choice of y. Question 5 (Credit question) Try to...
1. Consider the production function y = f(L,K) for a firm in a competitive market setting. The price of the output good is p > 0. The prices of the inputs Labour and Capital are w> 0 and r>0 respectively. The firm chooses L and K in order to maximize profits, (L.K). (a) How does the short-run production function differ from the long-run production function? (b) Write out the profit function for the firm, (L,K). (c) Derive the first order...
Consider a firm that has the following CES production function: Q = f(L,K) = [aL^ρ + bK^ρ]^1/ρ where ρ ≤ 1. Please clearly show each STEP and make sure your handwriting is LEGABLE. Thank you Derive the MRTS for this production function. Does this production function exhibit a diminishing MRTS? Justify using derivatives and in words. What does this imply about the shape of the corresponding isoquants? (10 points) What are the returns to scale for this production function? Show...
Derive the cost function associated with the production function
in questions 2 is C(q) = 4 + 2q and in questions 3 is
C=wL+rK=1*8+2*4=16. The cost function is of the general form C(Q) =
xQ. What is the value of x?
2. The inverse market demand function is given by P()-20 q. Would consumers prefer to face a monopolist in this market with a cost function given by C(g)4+ 2q, or a perfectly competitive firm with a cost function given...
