3. Consider the production function: Y = F(K, LE) = Kº4 (LE) 0.6 in which output (Y) depends on capital (K) and the number of effective workers (LE), while the number of effective workers depends on the amount of workers (L) and the efficiency of each worker (E). (a) Derive the per effective-worker production function: y = f(k), where y Y LE K & k = LE

A small company that shovels sidewalks and driveways has 100 homes signed up for its services this winter. It can use various combinations of capital and labor: intensive labor with hand shovels, less labor with snow blowers, and still less labor with a pickup truck that has a snowplow on front. To summarize, the method Choices are: Method 1: 50 units of labor, 10 units of capital Method 2: 20 units of labor, 40 units of capital Method 3: 10 units of labor, 70 units of capital If hiring labor for the winter costs $100/unit and a unit of capital costs 400, what is the best production method? What method should the company use if the cost of labor rises to $20/unit?
