Please answer in detail according to the picture. Show that the cost function is homogeneous of degree 1/(α+β) in output. How do the returns to scale (degree of homogeneity of the production function) relate to the propertiesof the cost function? Does this make sense to you? Explain clearly why.
Please get correct, means a lot. Super important.
The answer should be typed
A competitive firm’s production function is given by y= f(x1,x2)=x1ax2b If a=b=0.5 , the price of factor 1 is 12, and the price of factor 2 is 3, find the cost minimizing input combinations and the total cost of producing 40 units of output. Redo part (1), this time by first deriving the firm’s conditional factor demand functions and the cost function.
A firm uses inputs L and K to produce output Q and the production function is Q = 5LK. The firm is currently using inputs L = 6 and K = 8. If the firm reduces its capital purchase to only 2 units, how much additional K must it purchase to keep output constant? Group of answer choices 12 14 16 18
c) Instead of introducing the 20% corporate tax in part (b), the government decided to add an ad valorem input tax of 100% to input 2. What is the profit-maximizing amount of each input to use? What is the profit-maximizing output? How much is Rodrigo’s new profit?
