Coca cola uses labour(L) and capital (k) in its production process. It estimates that the production function facing it is given by Q= K0.5 L0.5. The company can sell a bottle of coke at GH4. The cost of a machine is GH3 and that of Man- hour is GH5. The firm's total cost if production at the end of production is expected to be GH 3000. Required: Determine The optimal level of capital and labour usage The firm’s firm’s profit at the optimal levels of capital and labour usage The firm’s elasticity of output with respect to labour and capital and interpret it

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 labor and capital to produce 3000 units
Jack's car repair factory has the Total Cost function: TC(Q)=3.30³-540 + 8 where Q stands for the number of hours of repairs. If the market price for car repair is $100 per hour, what are the optimal hours of repairs that Jack will do (round to 2 decimal places)?
Find the marginal values for functions a, b, and c given below and evaluate each at Q=100. a) C(Q) = 540 + 6Q where C(Q) is the total cost function and Q is the level of production. b) R(Q) = 9Q where R(Q) is the total revenue when Q units are transacted at a constant price of P=$9. c) R(Q) = P(Q)Q, where P(Q) = 40 – 0.1Q, is a demand (inverse) function showing the dependence of price on quantity demanded Q.

Let a firm's production function be f(K, L) = √2K1¹/21/2 a) Solve for the contingent demand functions for K and L. b) Substitute the contingent demand functions in the total cost that you minimized in part a) to obtain the total cost function.
1. Inputs K, L, R and M cost £10, £6, £15 and £3 respectively per unit. What is the cheapest way of producing an output of 900 units if a firm operates with the production function Q = 20K0.4L0.3R0.2M0.25? 2. Make up your own constrained optimization problem for an objective function with three variables and solve it. 3. A firm faces the production function Q = 50K0.5L0.2R0.25 and is required to produce an output level of 1,913 units. What is the cheapest way of doing this if the per-unit costs of inputs K, L and R are £80, £24 and £45 respectively?
