Question

A manufacturer has modeled its yearly production function P (the monetary value of its entire production) as a Cobb-Douglas function

P(L, K) = 1.46L0.65K0.45

where L is the number of labor hours, in thousands, and K is the invested capital, in millions of dollars.

(a) Calculate 
PL
 and 
PK.

PL = 
 
 
 

PK = 
 
 
 


(b) Find the marginal productivity of labor and the marginal productivity of capital when 
L = 140
 and 
K = 40.
 (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
marginal productivity of labor       
marginal productivity of capital
