A Company has a determined that its production function is the Cobb-Douglas function f(x,y) = x2/3 y 1/3 where x is the number of labor hours and y is the number of capitol units. The budget constraint for the company is given by 100x +100y = 400000. Use the method of Lagrange multiplier to find the optimal solutions.

Question

A Company has a determined that its production function is the Cobb-Douglas function f(x,y) = x2/3 y 1/3 where x is the number of labor hours and y is the number of capitol units. The budget constraint for the company is given by 100x +100y = 400000. Use the method of Lagrange multiplier to find the optimal solutions.

 

A Company has a determined that its production function is the Cobb-Douglas
function f(x,y) = x2/3 y¹/3 where x is the number of labor hours and y is the number of
capitol units. The budget constraint for the company is given by 100x +100y=
400000. Use the method of Lagrange multiplier to find the optimal solutions.
