A firm has the production function f(X, Y) = X/2 y!/2, where X is the amount of factor x used and Y is the amount of factor y used. On a diagram we put X on the horizontal axis and Y on the vertical axis. We draw some isoquants. Now we draw a straight line on the graph and we notice that wherever this line meets an isoquant, the isoquant has a slope of -3. The straight line we drew Select one: a. is vertical. O b. is horizontal. O c. is a ray through the origin with slope 3. O d. is a ray through the origin with slope 4. e. has a negative slope.

1. The following production function is used to produce wheat, q, from capi- tal, K, and labour, L: q = f(K, L) = «³K/3 + B³L/3 a) Describe the role of a and B in this production function. b) Derive the slope of an isoquant for this production function and in- terpret your result. Draw the isoquant in (K L) space, labeling where appropriate. The drawing does not need to be exact, but the curvature needs to be approximately correct.

A small clothing manufacturer employs a production method that is approximated by the following production function: q=12KL², where L measures the number of labor hours and K measures the number of rental hours for the machines used in the clothing construction process. Does this production process exhibit increasing, decreasing, or constant returns to scale? Briefly explain your answer. The hourly wage rate for workers at this company is $15; and the rental cost on the machines is $75 per hour. The company has a total budget of $3,150 that it can allocate to cover weekly production costs. The goal of the company's owner is to maximize their output, subject to the constraint of their production budget. Determine the output-maximizing levels of labor and capital the owner will employ.
