Consider an economy with one consumer and one firm. The firm produces the output C from the labour L according to the production function f(L)=L/182. The consumer provides labour to the firm and consumes the good C. The consumer can work a maximum of 18 hours a day. Her utility function is u(Le,C)=2C+Le where Le=18-L is her leisure time. What is the time L the consumer should work at the Pareto efficient allocation? None of the other answers. O a. Ob. L=0 O c. L=9 O d. L=3 O e. L=6 thomnt

3. Optimal inputs: A firm has a production function, y = ln(l, k) in a market with prices Py = 20, pe = 4, Pk = 5. Find the firm's profit maximizing choice for y, l, and k. How much profit do they earn?
Answer the Constrained Optimization: Cobb-Douglas Production Function:3. 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.
