2. Consider the following information of a hypothetical firm: Q = 100K0.6 L0.8, w = = 1; r = 3 A. Solve for the cost-minimizing quantity of capital (K*) and labor (L*), and the minimum cost (C*) if the firm targets to produce 3,000 units of output. (10 pts) B. If target output increases to 6,000 units, solve for the new cost-minimizing quantity of capital and labor, and the minimum cost. (10 pts) C. Graphically illustrate the expansion path for the firm if it decides to increase its target output from 3,000 units to 6,000 units. (10 pts)
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=?
Please answer in detail according to the picture. Show that the cost function is homogeneous of degree 1/(α+β) in output. How do the returns to scale (degree of homogeneity of the production function) relate to the propertiesof the cost function? Does this make sense to you? Explain clearly why.
Question i A firm has a production fùnction given by Q = AL" K# and per unit prices of capital (K) and labour (L) are r and w respectively. %3D a. Find the Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution of labour for capital for this firm b. Ifthe firm seeks to minimize its cost and it is in the short run of production such that K = K find L and the short run cost function c. Suppose that the firm can now change all its inputs and it seeks to minimize its cost. Find the input demand functions for K and L; as well as the long run cost function
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…
Assume that the production function for competitive firm is given by F(L)=9L1/3, where L is the number of units of labour used in the production process. Suppose that the cost per unit of labor is $3 and the price of output is $9 per unit, how many units of labor will the firm hire?

Suppose that a firm has only one variable input, labor, and firm output is zero when labor is zero. When the firm hires 5 workers the firm produces 85 units of output. Fixed costs of production are $5 and the variable cost per unit of labor is $10. The marginal product of the sixth unit of labor is 4. Given this information, when the firm hires 6 workers the total output is amount to $ variable costs are $ production (rounded to the nearest cent) is cents. units, the fixed costs and the average total cost of
