Demand functions are usually assumed to be linear in the competitive market model because: The marginal utility of consumption is assumed to be decreasing. Supply functions are assumed to be convex. O Utility is usually linear in money. It makes the models easier to use. Returns to scale must be constant in competitive markets. No answer.
Production Function and Input Demand Consider the production function Q = K + √L. Derive the inputdemand curves for L and K, as a function of the output Q, inputprices w (price of labor services) and r (price of capitalservices). Does the production function exhibit IRS, CRS orDRS?

For each of the following cases, determine whether the firm should (A) Use more labor and less capital, or (B) Use more capital and less labor. 1. The marginal rate of technical substitution is 2 (i.e., the marginal product of labor is twice the marginal product of capital) and the input price ratio is 3 (i.e., a unit of labor costs three times as much as a unit of capital) 2. The marginal rate of technical substitution is 2 (i.e., the marginal product of labor is twice the marginal product of capital) and the input price ratio is 1 (i.e., a unit of labor costs the same as a unit of capital) 3. The marginal rate of technical substitution is initially equal to the input price ratio, but the firm's machines depreciate, so that the marginal product of capital decreases. 4. The marginal rate of technical substitution is initially equal to the input price ratio, but the firm successfully negotiates a lower rate of rent for their machines, so that the price of capital decreases. 5.

1. Suppose that a producer has the following production function: Q = K³L'® Where Q is output, and L and K are man-hours and machine-hour the two inputs used in the production process. 1A) Set up the cost minimization problem as shown in class - In the cost minimization problem, the cost is minimized subject to constraint production function. It is indicated as follows: Minimize wL + rK subject to constraint Q = K3 L16 A = wL + rK + (Q-K-L6) The Lagrange f unction is differentiated by K andL to calculate the minimize the cost, and W= wage rate L=Labor R= real interest rate K = capital Q = output A= parameter coefficient 1B) Determine the cost-minimize ratio of inputs where capital costs $1 per machine-hour and labor costs $4 per lab- hour. - MRTS = Marginal product of labor Marginal product of capital Q = KL!6
The production function is given by Q=10L+2K. The wage for labor is $20 dollar per unit and price for capital is $5 per unit. The optimal bundle (L, K) to minimize cost is: (0, Q/2) (Q/20, Q/4) (Q/15, Q/3) (Q/10, 0)
