Quiz 6 Practice Problems Question 1: The production function is given by Y = 2 Sqrt(L) + 2 Sqrt (K) where L denotes labor and K denotes capital. MPL = 1/Sqrt(L) and MPK = 1/Sqrt(K). The firm has a fixed amount of capital, K = 4, and can expand production by hiring more workers only. The output is p, the price of labor is wL and the price of capital is wk. a. Graph the production function for 1 = 0 to 100

Economics Suppose that firms face the following production function: Q = L + K + 2L ^ (1/2) * K ^ (1/2) This production function exhibits information that is not enough to determine Returns to Scale Increasing Returns to Scale Decreasing Returns to Scale Constant Returns to Scale
Question: Consider a firm's capital demand problem. The production function is F(K, L) = K^1/3 L^2/3. Suppose L = 300, P = 3, R= 1.Find out optimal K:
Consider the production function: Y = z.f(K,N,L) where Y is output, z is a parameter capturing technology, K is capital, N is labour and L is the area of land.

Question 2: Suppose a production function is given by F(K,L) = KL² the price of capital is $10 and the price of labor $15. What combination of labor and capital minimizes the cost of producing any given output?
Mainly concerned with how to answer part b.
Consider the following production function: Q = 3K + 6L where K is Capital, L is Labour and Q represents output. What kind of production function (perfect substitutes, imperfect substitutes, perfect complements etc) does this equation represent? Explain your answer clearly.
