Consider the following production function

- Find the value of L that maximizes APL
- Find the value of L that maximizes MPL
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Consider the following production function TPL = 12L2 – 0.8L3 Find the value of L that maximizes TPL Find the value of L that maximizes APL Find the value of L that maximizes MPLSuppose the two factors are perfect complements and the production function is given by y=min { 13x1,2x2} Where x1=300, X2=50 What will be level of production and draw corresponding iso quant?Sam Malone is considering renovating the bar stools at Cheers.The production function for new bar stools is given byq = 0.1k 0.2l0.8 where q is the number of bar stools produced during the renovation week, k represents the number of hours of bar stoollathes used during the week, and l represents the number ofworker hours employed during the period. Sam would like toprovide 10 new bar stools, and he has allocated a budget of$10,000 for the project.a. Sam reasons that because bar stool lathes and skilled barstool workers both cost the same amount ($50 per hour),he might as well hire these two inputs in equal amounts.If Sam proceeds in this way, how much of each input willhe hire and how much will the renovation project cost?b. Norm (who knows something about bar stools) arguesthat once again Sam has forgotten his microeconomics.He asserts that Sam should choose quantities of inputs sothat their marginal (not average) productivities are equal.If Sam opts for this plan instead, how much of…

Solve for the formulas of the Marginal Product of Labor (MPL), and Marginal product of Capital (MPK)4. Using your knowledge of the tangency condition in Producer’s theory, find the combination of K and L that the firm should use to produce the maximum possible output. Do not solve the problem using the Lagrangian method.Note: The tangency conditions just states that the slope of the production function must beequal to the slope of the isocost function.5.
