Transcribed Image Text:1. Juan Valdez owns a coffee farm in Colombia. His production function is:
f (x1, x2) = (x1 – 1)0.25 x9-5.
Assume the price of input 1 is r and the price of input 2 is w..
(a) Write down an expression for the technical rate of substitution.
(b) Find Juan's demand for inputs conditional on the quantity y of coffee Juan
wants to produce.
(c) Find Juan's cost function.
(d) What is the supply function of Juan's firm?
2. Show that the profit function is convex in (p, w).
3. Find the profit function for the Cobb-Douglas production function f(¤1, 12) = Ax†' x"
