Assume a firm has the following short-run production function: q(L) = L+6L2-1/2L3 If this firm is going to maximize profits in the short-run by producing a strictly positive level of output (q>0), what is the lowest level of labor (L) they would employ? A.) Minimum L=?
Consider the following production function: q=100L0.8K0.4 Currently the wage rate (w) is $2.00 and the price of capital (r) is $4.00. If the firm is using 100 units of capital in production, how much labor should be employed to minimize costs? Labor input = units. (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.)
Only typed answer A firm has the production function Q = K^0.8L^0.2. The wage is W and the rental rate on capital is R. Derive the long-run demand functions for capital and labor. Using Lagrangian is optional.
The production function is given by Q=10L+2K. The wage for labor is $20 dollar per unit and price for capital is $5 per unit. The optimal bundle (L, K) to minimize cost is: (0, Q/2) (Q/20, Q/4) (Q/15, Q/3) (Q/10, 0)
For a short run production function q=10lnL if L=5 and wage 3, more workers will be hired if the price at which the output can be sold is more than.......
The short run production function of a competitive firm is given The short-run production function of a competitive firm is given by f (L) = 6L2/3, where L is the amount of labor it uses. (For those who do not know calculus—if total output is aLb, where a and b are constants, and where L is the amount of some factor of production, then the marginal product of L is given by the formula abLb−1.) The cost per unit of labor is w = 6 and the price per unit of output is p = 3. (a) Plot a few points on the graph of this firm’s production function and sketch the graph of the production function, using blue ink. Use black ink to draw the isoprofit line that passes through the point (0, 12), the isoprofit line that passes through (0, 8), and the isoprofit line that passes through the point (0, 4). What is the slope of each of the isoprofit lines? (b) How many units of labor will the firm hire? (c) Suppose that the wage of labor falls to 4, and the price of output…
