4. Consider a firm producing output, Q, using labour, Land capital, K as the two inputs, where the price of labour is w = 40 and the price of capital is r = 50. The firm's total costs are TC = £10,000. Assume that the production technology to produce the output is given by: Q = 20L + 30K (a) What will be the firm's optimal choice of inputs? Referring to marginal product and input prices, explain why this is the optimum point.

At the given wage and price level, Blewitt's should hire Suppose that the price of blueberries decreases to $12 per pound, but the wage rate remains at $118. On the previous graph, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot Blewitt's labor demand curve when the output price is $12 per pound. Now Blewitt's should hire when the output price is $12 per pound. Assuming that all blueberry-producing firms have similar production schedules, a decrease in the price of blueberries will cause the blueberry pickers to Suppose that wages decrease to $100 due to a decreased demand for workers in this market. Assuming that the price of blueberries remains at $12 per pound, Blewitt's will now hire
