The Cobb-Douglas production function is a classic model from economics used to model output as a function of capital and labor. It has the form: f(L,C)=c0Lc1Cc2, where c0, c1, and c2 are constants. The variable L represents the units of input of labor, and the variable C represents the units of input of capital. a. In this example, assume c0 = 5, c1 = 0.25, and c2 = 0.75. Assume each unit of labor costs 25 and each unit of capital costs 75. With 75,000 available in the budget, develop an optimization model to determine how the budgeted amount should be allocated between capital and labor in order to maximize output. b. Find the optimal solution to the model you formulated in part (a). (Hint: When using Excel Solver, use the Multistart option with bounds 0 L 3,000 and 0 C 1,000.)
