A Chinese high technology manufacturing firm has a production function of 0.80 0.20 q=16L (based on Zhang, et al., 2012). It faces prices of w=$8 and r= $2. What are its short-run average variable and marginal cost curves? Let K be fixed in the short run. The firm's short-run average variable cost curve, AVC, as a function of K and q is AVC=$ (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcute. E.g., a superscript can be created with the character.)   Write AVC and MC functions

Isocost and Isoprofit Curve Analysis

An isocost curve in the production theory that is a crucial part of economics depicts different combinations of factor inputs at a given market cost. In other words, this shows all the combinations of production factors that cost the same for the firm to employ. Usually, this can be depicted as a downward sloping straight line when the firms act as the price-takers in the factor markets. The slope of this mainly depicts the relative prices of different production factors.
