Consider the following production function: f (A, B) = gamma multiply A^alpha multiply B^Beta. where A and B are the inputs and alpha, Beta, gamma are in the set (0,1). Let wA and wB the price of the two inputs. Assume wA, wB > 0. Is the production function separable? Does the production function exhibit constant returns of scale? Compute the cost function and the conditional input demand function. How do these three functions react to a change in wA?

Does the production function exhibit constant returns of scale?
Compute the cost function and the conditional input demand function.
How do these three functions react to a change in wA? Suppose the price of both inputs double, what happens to the conditional input demand function? And to the cost function? Suppose the desired level of output double, what happens to the conditional input demand function? And to the cost function? Compute the profit function. Do you need to impose something on Beta and alpha?
