1. Consider two firms that produce a single output good, y, using two inputs: Capital, K, and labor, L. the prices of each unit of capital and labor are r and w, respectively. The output good y sells for $p per unit. Firm A's production function is y = fA(K,L) = K/4 L4. The profit function is thus: Da(K,L) = K4 L/4 – rK -wL

Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curves Suppose Caroline runs a small business that manufactures shirts. Assume that the market for shirts is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per shirt. The following graph shows Caroline's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for shirts quantities zero through seven (inclusive) that Caroline produces. Caroline's profit is maximized when she produces______ shirts. When she does this, the marginal cost of the last shirt she produces is ______, which is (GREATER OR LESS) than the price Caroline receives for each shirt she sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional shirt (that is, one more shirt than would maximize her profit) is _____, which is (GREATER OR LESS) than the price Caroline receives for each shirt she sells. Therefore, Caroline's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the…
