3. A firm has a Cobb-Douglas production function for its output using the inputs of capital (K) and labor (L). The firm is currently paying $10 per labor hour and $5 per machine hour and is employing an equal number of machines and workers. If this bundle of inputs is cost minimizing, what we can infer about the marginal productivities of capital and labor at this point? a. MPK MPL = b. MPK = 2MPL c. MPL = 2MPK d. MPL = 5MPK
