Last week, the Fur Salon signed and pre-paid a one-year leasing contract for 27 machines. Equipment therefore is now a fixed input at the Salon. b) Substitute the number of machines in the Fur Salon’s production function to find the expression The Fur Salon’s Short Run production function qSR(L). c) In the short run, to produce 20 artificial coats, how many units of labor does the Fur Salon need to employ? Explain your reasoning.

b) Substitute the number of machines in the Fur Salon’s production function to find the expression The Fur Salon’s Short Run production function qSR(L).
c) In the short run, to produce 20 artificial coats, how many units of labor does the Fur Salon need to employ? Explain your reasoning.
d) What is the expression of the Fur Coat’s short run conditional demand for labor (keep in mind that this is a function of the output level q)? What is the expression of the Fur Coat’s labor demand? (keep in mind that this is a function of the output price p and the wage rate w)?
Given:
Fur Salon signed and pre-paid a one-year leasing contract for 27 machines.
Equipment is fixed input at the Salon.
Production function = q(L,K) = L2/3K2/3
