If the per-unit rental rate of capital, r, is $12 and the per-unit wage, w, is $20, then the average total cost of using 25 units of capital and 49 units of labor is Multiple Choice $6.25. $9.14.Correct $10.07. incalculable since there is insufficient information to determine the average total costs.A firm has production function F(K, L) = 1/4 (K1/2 + L1/2) . The wage rate is w = 1 and the rental rate of capital is r = 3. (a) How much capital and labor should the firm employ to produce y units of output? (b) Hence find the cost of producing y units of output (the firm’s cost function). (c) Differentiate the cost function to find the marginal cost, and verify that it is equal to the value of the Lagrange multiplierFor function Y= 10+0.3x-0.006x2 suppose that price of the output is $5 and the price of input is $3 what level of input use will maximize the total value of the product
- E1 Suppose that production for good X is characterized by the following production function, Q = K0.5L0.5, where K is the fixed input in the short run. If the per-unit rental rate of capital, r, is $15 and the per-unit wage, w, is $25, then the average fixed cost of using 9 units of capital and 81 units of labor is $75. incalculable since there is insufficient information to determine the average fixed costs. $80. $5.A firm has two variable factors and a productionfunction f(x1, x2) = 6x1/21X21/3. The price of its output is 3, the price of factor 1 is 3, and the priceof factor 2 is 2.– What is the optimal production output level?– What is the maximum profit-level?Assume that Donnell Corp. is currently producing 500 units of output per period, using 25 units of labor and 20 units of capital. Values for the marginal product of each input and the prices of the inputs are as follows: MPK = 100, MPL = 200, w = 2, and r = 3. Given the information above, which of the following is true? a. The firm is currently using the optimal levels of capital and labor. b. The firm should increase labor and reduce capital usage. c. The firm is not using the optimal levels of capital and labor, and it is impossible to determine the optimal levels from the given information.
- Q1.The following is a Cobb-Douglas production function: Q = 1.75K0.6L0.5. What is correct here? * -This production function displays constant returns to scale -This production function displays increasing returns to scale -A one-percent change in L will cause Q to change by one percent -This production function displays decreasing returns to scale Q2. For studying demand relationships for a proposed new product that no one has ever used before, what would be the best method to use? * -consumer surveys, where potential customers hear about the product and are asked their opinions -double log functional form regression model -ordinary least squares regression on historical data -market experiments, where the price is set differently in two marketsMaking dresses is a labor-intensive process. Indeed, the production function of a dressmaking firm is well described by the equation Q = L − L2∕800, where Q denotes the number of dresses per week and L is the number of labor hours per week. The firm’s additional cost of hiring an extra hour of labor is about $20 per hour (wage plus fringe benefits). The firm faces the fixed selling price, P = $40. Over the next two years, labor costs are expected to be unchanged, but dress prices are expected to increase to $50. What effect will this have on the firm’s optimal output? A- Increase B- Decrease C- No EffectLet the production function be Q = 4* K1/4 L1/4 assume that both factors are variable. (a) Derive the contingent demand functions for K and L (b) Substitute the contingent demand functions in the total cost that you minimized in part a) to obtain the total cost function. (c) Find the amount of K and L necessary to produce Q=8 when v=16 and w=1 (with minimal possible cost). (d) Find the average and marginal cost functions.
