- A firm's production function is: q = 20L1/2K1/2 where q is the firm's total product, L is the quantity of labor employed, and K is the quantity of capital employed. The price of labor is $25 per unit and the price of capital is $100 per unit. a. What is the equation for the marginal product of labor? b. What is the equation for the marginal product of capital? c. Given the price of labor is $25 per unit and the price of capital is $100 per unit, what is the cost-minimizing combination of capital and labor that can produce 800 units of output?1. Given the production function Q = f(L,K) = KL2 – L3 , where Q is output and L and K are the labor and capital inputs, respectively. Suppose K is a fixed input set at 15 units. Mathematically and graphically show the input levels that divide stages I & II and stages II & III of production.2.Consider the production functions for X and Y given below.X = 2K2 + 4L ; Y = 10K0.5 L0.5 ; Suppose the isocost equation is given by C = 4L + 10K, derive (i) the long-run cost function for good Y and (ii) the short-run cost function for good X if 10 units of capital are employed in X.3. Given: Q = 100K0.6L0.8; w = 50; r = 80; Q0 = 2,000. Graphically illustrate the expansion path for the firm if it decides to increase its target output to Q1 = 4,000.An economy has the following Cobb-Douglas production function: ?=100?^(1/3)?^(2/3) . The economy has 125 units of capital and 64 units of labor. d. Calculate the marginal product of capital MPK. e. Calculate the marginal product of labor (MPL).
- Given the production function Q(K,L) = 96K^0.3L^0.7, find the MPK (i.e. Marginal Product of Capital) and MPL (i.e. Marginal Product of Labor) functions. Is the MPK a function of K, L, or both? What about MPL?Please refer to the table attached. The number of fish caught per week on a trawler is a function of the crew size assigned to operate the boat. Based on past data, consider the following production function identifying the relationship between output and labor input. You may assume that capital is fixed at 10 units. Answer all of the question. Calculate APL and MPL. Graph APL and MPL. Do they have the expected shape? On your graph, identify the three stages of production.Which of the following statements are true? A basic assumption of the theory of production is that: A firm cannot borrow money to finance its input expenditures. A firm can buy as much labor and capital as it desires in the long-run A firm can reduce the number of workers it uses, but it cannot adjust how much capital it uses in the short-run When the marginal product of labour starts falling, the firm must cease production a. II only b. II and III c. I, III and IV d. II, III and IV
- Suppose that a firm's production function is given by Q = KL(MPK= L and MPL= K), where Q is the quantity of output, K is units of capital, and L is units of labor. The price per unit of labor and capital are $30 and $20, respectively. a. How many units of labor and capital should the firm use if it wants to minimize the cost of producing 600 units of output?Suppose that a certain factory output is given by the Cobb-Douglas production function ?(?, ?) = 60?^1/3?^2/3 units, where K is the level of capital and L the size of the labor force need to maximize the factory’s output. (a) Determine whether the Cobb-Douglas production function is concave, convex, strictly concave, strictly convex or neither.The production function for a product is given by q=100KL. Its marginal product functions are MPL=100K and MPK=100L. If the price of capital, r, is $200 per day and the price of labor, w, is $400 per day, what is the minimum cost of producing 1,000 units of output? The minimum cost of producing 1,000 units of output is ______? (Round all intermediate results to 3 decimal places and enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
- 6. In a certain factory, the daily output is Q = 60 K1/2 L1/3 units, where K represents the invested capital measured in thousands of pesos and L the size of the force of work measured in worker-hours. Determine the marginal product functions of the labor and capital.Consider the following production function when K is fixed. (This is a description of the figure: it shows a two-axis graph; in the horizontal axis we measure labor and in the vertical axis we measure meals; the graph of the production function is a line that intersects the vertical axis at a positive amount; this graph is a line with positive slope and passes through the point (4,300)). Can we say that the production function satisfies the law of decreasing marginal returns of labor?True FalseConsider the following production function: f (A, B) = gamma multiply A^alpha multiply B^Beta. where A and B are the inputs and alpha, Beta, gamma are in the set (0,1). Let wA and wB the price of the two inputs. Assume wA, wB > 0. Is the production function separable?Does the production function exhibit constant returns of scale?Compute the cost function and the conditional input demand function.How do these three functions react to a change in wA? Suppose the price of both inputs double, what happens to the conditional input demand function? And to the cost function? Suppose the desired level of output double, what happens to the conditional input demand function? And to the cost function?…
