4) A firm faces a production function of twittle-twaps: Q(K,Lp,Ln) = 5*K(2/5)*LP(1/3)*LN(1/5) per hour, where capital (K), production labor (LP), and non-production labor (LN) are input factors used in production. The firm operates in a competitive market, where they are a price taker within the capital & labor markets and its own price (r = 40, wP = 25, wN = 50, P = 20). Answer the following.a. If capital and non-production labor are fixed at K = 32 and LN = 243, what is the general form MPLP and graph Q wrt to LP changing [you do not need to solve for LP yet].b. Is this production function decreasing, constant, or increasing returns to scale and why.c. Given the wage of production workers and the price of twittle-twaps, what is the optimal number of LP to employ to maximize profits and the quantity produced (VMPLP = wP).d. If the firm can control both K and LP, what does the Isoquant curve look like and its slope in relative terms if LN is fixed at 243 units [IQ slope =…
Suppose that a firm has the following production function: q = 2L + K. The wage for a $10 per hour and the rental rate of capital is r = worker is w $10 per hour. In the short run the firm amount of capital is fixed at K = 20 units. If the firm's goal is to minimize their cost of producing 100 units, then in the short run they will hire units of labor and in the long run they will hire units of labor. (Round answers to two decimals if necessary.)
Suppose pigs (P) can be fed corn-based feed (C) or soybean-based feed (S) such that the production function is P = 20 + 55. If the price of corn feed is $4 and the price of soybean feed is $5, what is the costminimizing feed combination producing P = 200?
Let a firm's production function be f(K, L) = min{2K, L}. a) Solve for the contingent demand functions for K and L.
Find the MRTS for a firm with production function f(L,K)=(L)^2+vK. Is it diminishing?
4. Find the cost function and the conditional demands for inputs associated to the CES production function f(r1, #2) = A(ar{ + (1 – a)a)/e, where A, 8 > 0, 0 < a < 1, and 0#p< 1.
A firm has a production function given by Q = min(K/2, L/2). The firm faces a demand curve of p = 100-q. The firm is a price-taker in the markets for L and K in which the price of K is $1. Find the firm's demand function for L (assuming K is variable). Please show your work.

IV. Will can produce a higher grade, Gw, on an upcoming economic exam by studying. His production function depends on the number of hours he studies marginal analysis problems, A, and the number of hours he studies supply and demand problems, R. Specifically, Gw = 2.5A0.36R 0.64. His roommate David's grade production function is G) = 2.5A0.25R0.75 a. What is Will's marginal productivity from studying supply and demand problems? What is David's? b. What is Will's marginal rate of technical substitution between studying the two types of problems? What is David's?
Catalina Films produces video shorts using digital editing equipment (K) and editors (L). The firm has the production function Q(K, L)=KxL, where Q is the hours of edited footage. The wage is $25, and the rental rate of capital is $50. The firm wants to produce 3,000 units of output at the lowest possible cost. a) Find the marginal product of each input. b) Determine whether the production function exhibits diminishing marginal product to each input. c) Find the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTSLK) d) How does MRTSLK change as more L, is used holding output constant. e) Find the least costly combination of labour and capital to produce 3000 units.
