The cost function of a firm is c(y) = 3y^2 + 6y + 5.1. Find the Average variable and Marginal Cost curves of the firm.2. What is the quantity level where the average variable cost is minimized?
The four statements below describe properties of a firm's short run cost curves. Complete the statements using words from the list given below. • The increase in total cost from producing an additional unit of output is called • Average cost is the total cost of When a firm's average cost curve crosses the marginal cost curve, average costs are When a firm's average cost is greater than marginal cost, then producing an additional unit of output will result in a fall in average cost marginal cost at a minimum at a maximum production production divided by the quantity of units produced
Question 12. A firm's long-run production function is given by q = LK, where L denotes units of labour and K denotes units of capital. Each unit of labour L must be paid w > 0 and each unit of capital K incurs a cost of r > 0. Explain the cost minimisation problem. Explain the expansion path and derive the firm's long-run total cost function.

Suppose the short-run production function for a restaurant producing a pack of food is given by: Q = 3L – 0.312 Where Q is the number of packs of food produced and L is the amount of labour used. If the cost of a unit of labour is ¢6 and the unit price of a pack of food produced is ¢10, a) what is the amount of labour the restaurant should employ in order to maximize profit. b) How much profit is made?

A firm operates in the short run with the production function Q = 10 K0.5 L 0.5, where Q is output, K is capital, and L is labor. The price of capital is $100 per unit, and the wage rate is $50 per unit of labor. How many units of capital and labor should the firm use to minimize its total cost while producing 400 units of output?
