Let f(x1,x2)=xxx be a Cobb-Douglas production technology where a, ẞ> 0 and a+B< 1. (i) Show that the technology satisfies monotonicity, diminishing marginal product, diminishing TRS, and diminishing returns to scale. (ii) Which of these properties are invariant to arbitrary increasing transfor- mations of the technology? That is, which properties remain true for oof(x1, x2), where can be any strictly increasing function? You can assume that is differentiable for convenience. 2. Solve for the short-run profit maximization problem for f(x1, x2) = 2x1 + x2 and f(x1, x2) = min{2x1, x2}, holding x2 at 2, and taking real factor prices wi and w2 as given.

Suppose that the production function takes the form X = min(10L, 5K) and that a competitive firm faces a wage rate of £60 per week and a weekly capital rental of £32. (a) How much must the firm spend to produce 100 units of output, and what is the average cost of production when X = 100? (b) What is the incremental cost of producing the 101st unit of output? (c) What happens to the cost of producing 100 units of output if the wage rate and the rental cost of capital rise by 25 per cent each? What happens to the average and marginal cost? (d) What happens to the cost of producing 100 units of output if the wage rate increases by £1, or if the cost of capital increases by £1?

Ben's swim coach estimates that his time, t, in the 100-yard butterfly at a big upcoming meet as a function of the number of yards he swims per week, y, is t = 50+8e-0.00005y Based on this production function, his coach also estimates that if Ben swims 20,000 yards per week, his time will be 52.94 seconds, and he will finish tenth place. If he swims 40,000 yards per week, his time will be 51.08 seconds, and he will come in third. If he swims 60,000 yards per week, his time will be 50.40 seconds, and he will win the meet. Use calculus to determine Ben's marginal productivity of time given the number of yards he practices. Is there diminishing marginal productivity of practice yards? Ben's marginal productivity of swim time given y practice yards (MP) is (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcuts.
