I have graphed the isoquant line but I can’t figure out how to graph the isocost line? Could you verify my math and show the isoquant and isocost line graphed please?
Grease Tech produces oil changes. The production of oil changes reles on both capital (K) and labor (L) and is combined in the following production function F (K, L) = KILL Take the derivative of this production function with respect to capital. What is the marginal product of capital evaluated at (le. just plug in the numbers) 64 units of capital used and 16 units of labor?
1/2 Consider a firm with the production function ƒ(x₁, x₂) = x¹/²x₂. The price of the two inputs is ₁ = 2 and w₂ = 1. If x₁ = x₂ = 16, the marginal product of input 1 is When ₁ is increasing and 2 stays the same, the marginal product of input 1 is Constant Decreasing Increasing This production function has Constant returns to scale Decreasing returns to scale O Increasing returns to scale None of the other answers is correct Does the production function have a diminishing technical rate of substitution? No Yes
Could you please help me with this question? Thank you!
The production function is given by Q=10L+2K. The wage for labor is $20 dollar per unit and price for capital is $5 per unit. The optimal bundle (L, K) to minimize cost is: (0, Q/2) (Q/20, Q/4) (Q/15, Q/3) (Q/10, 0)
Maria's Umbrellas has a production function given by Q = L0.5K0.5. The wage (W) is $80 per day and the rental per unit of capital (R) is $5 per day. In the long run, how many units of capital will Maria want to buy for each unit of labor?
Q3) A chair manufacturer hires its assembly-line labor for $30 an hour and calculates that the rental cost of its machinery is $15 per hour. Suppose that a chair can be produced using 4 hours of labor or machinery in any combination. Graphically illustrate the isoquant and the two isocost lines for the current combination of labor and capital and for the optimal combination of labor and capital.
