How would you determine that a two-input Cobb-Douglas production function has decreasing returns to scale (DRS), increasing returns to scale (IRS) or constant returns to scale (CRS) depending on whether α1 + α2 is larger than, smaller than, or equal to one?
Let C(T) be a function that models the dependence of the cost (C) in thousands of dollars on the amount of ore to extract from a copper mine measured in tons (T): 1) If you computed the average rate of change of cost with respect to tons for production levels between T = 20000 and T = 40000, give the units of your answer (no calculations - describe the units of the rate of change). 2) If you had a function for C(T) and were able to calculate the answer to part 1, explain why you would not expect your answer to be negative (explanation should be in terms of cost, tons of ore to extract, and rates of change).
Consider the production function: Y=Z*F (K,L,A) where Y is output, z is technology, K is capital, L is labour and A is the area of land.Which 3 of the following statements are correct? a. Diminishing marginal products means that if K,L and A all double, output will less than double.b. The property of a diminishing marginal product of labour means that, if labour is increased while otherinputs to production are held constant, output will increase, but by a decreasing amount.c. If there are constant returns to scale this implies that individual marginal products are not diminishing.d. If marginal products are diminishing, then the marginal product of labour measured in terms of discretechanges is less than the marginal product in terms of calculus.e. If z increases, the average product of all inputs increases but the marginal products do not.f. Holding K and A constant, if z increases the production function in terms of labour input shifts up by aconstant amount at all levels of labour…

Method Units of Labor Units of Capital 1 50 10 2 20 40 3 10 70 A small company that shovels sidewalks and driveways has 100 homes to service for the winter. It can use various combinations of labor and capital: lots of labor with hand shovels, less labor with snow blowers, and still less labor with a pickup truck that has a snowplow on front. A summary of the methods is listed above. If hiring labor cost $100/unit and a unit of capital costs $400, what production method should be used? If labor cost increases to $200/unit what method should be chosen? You must show your calculations.
