1. A firm has a production function Q = K¹² + L. The firm faces a price of labor, w, and a price of capital services, r. a. Derive the long-run input demand functions for L and K. (Assume an interior solution.) b. Suppose the firm must produce 100 units of output. What must be true of the relative price of labor in terms of capital for the firm to use a positive amount of labor? c. Assuming the relative price of labor meets the condition you specified in part (b), graph the firm's expansion path. d. Suppose the economy takes a downturn, and the price of labor falls by 50% and is expected to stay at that level for a long time. Show graphically how this change affects the firm's expansion path.

2. (This problem derives the general result that any polynomial function is of a lower asymptotic order than any exponential function.) First, we prove a special case. Suppose that we have two functions, f(n) = n² and g(n) = 2". We will prove that f(n) = O(g(n)). (e) (Slightly harder) Find a constant c₁ such that f(ni) ≤ cig(n1), where n₁ is defined as in part (d). (f) (Harder) Show that, for any n ≥ n₁, it must be the case that f(n) ≤ cig(n) ⇒ f(n+1) ≤ cig(n+1), and therefore nk = O(a") for all k, a ≥ 1.
