QUESTION 12 A research study published in Social Science Medicine. "Production Functions for General Hospitals," estimated the following general hospital production function in the Netherlands: Q = 5*Staf 24+Beds 64Drugs 04:5pecialists 02, where Qis a measure used by the authors for patient care. Suppose a hospital currently utilizes the following inputs: Staff=10, Beds = 100, Drugs = 50, Specialists =10. Use a spreadsheet to find the following. If the hospital increases its specialists by one (1), that is, employs an 11th specialist, the increase in Q (marginal product) will be: O A. 1.23. O B. 96. OC. 83. OD. 49. O E. 31.
