Constrained Optimization using Lagrange Multiplier: Cost MinimizationA clothing company produces two goods namely pants (P) and sweaters (S) whose combined cost function is C = 6P2 + 10S2 − PS + 30.In a day, the clothing company is limited by a production quota of 34 units of output only. Inequation form: P + S = 341. State the cost minimization problem of the clothing company.2. Set-up the Lagrange equation and determine the quantity of pants (P) and sweaters (S) that the firm should produce daily to minimize cost.3. What is the effect on cost if the company decides to increase the production quota by 1 more unit?

Assume that we are in a long-run environment and a firm employs two groups of workers, medium-skilled and low-skilled (there is no capital used by this firm). Low-skilled workers are paid $7.25 per hour, whereas medium-skilled workers are paid $17. Assume that both groups of workers are normal inputs into the production process and the government increases the minimum wage to $15. Workers in the medium-skilled group are happy because they believe that the firm will increase their work hours now. Are the medium-skilled workers correct in their assessment? Explain why or why not. Do firms respond differently in the long run to a change in the minimum wage if minimum wage workers are considered normal inputs or inferior inputs into the production process? Fully explain your answer.
Consider a producer who rents machines K at r per year and hires labor L at wage w per year to produce output Q, where Q= K 0.5+ L0.5 Suppose he wishes to produce a fixed quantity of Q at minimum rent. Find his factor demand functions. Show that the Langrange multiplier is given by Lambda = 2w r Q /(w + r). Suggest an economic interpretation for . Now let p denote the price of output . Suppose the producer now vary the quantity of output, and seeks to maximize profit. Show that his optimum output supply is Q = p(w + r) / (2 w r). Relate this to your interpretation of lambda
A firm maximizes its profit function pL0.5 – wL subject to wL = K where L0,5 is its production function, L is an input (labor), p is the market price, w is the unit cost of the labor L and K is a parameter. Profits are maximized for L K A with the w Lagrange multiplier A = 1 2wL - Using the envelope theorem evaluate the marginal effect of a change of w on the maximal profits assuming: p= 10, w = 1 and K = 100 Answer:

Assume the aggregate demand and supply of a good are given by: Qd(p)=16−p & Qs(p)=3p−4 a.) Where p equals the price of the good. If there are no taxes imposed on the consumption or production of the good, what will be the competitive equilibrium quantity?
Suppose demand and supply are given by:Qx d = 14 −  2Px and Qx s = 14Px-2b. Suppose a $12 excise tax is imposed on the good. Determine the new inverse demand function.

Economic rent is a surplus payment when viewed by the economy as a whole but a cost of production from the standpoint of individual firms and industries. as the price of land increases, there is an incentive to provide more of the resource. land rents are necessary to the economy to ensure that the land is available for economic use. the supply of land responds to changes in rent, but in order to use the land profitably, revenue must cover the rental payments. the supply of land does not respond to changes in rent, but in order to use the land profitably, revenue must cover the rental payments.
Suppose that a country has only two commodities, two factors of production, and no savings. The two commodities are wine (W) and cheese (C) and the two factors of production are capital (K) and labour (L). The country collects the following partial factor taxes: tKC is a tax on capital used in the production of cheese equal to 20%. tKW is a tax on capital used in the production of wine equal to 25%. tLC is a tax on labour used in the production of cheese equal to 20%. tLW is a tax on labour used in the production of wine equal to 15%. Which of the following would have the same outcome as the above taxes? A) Replacing tKW and tKC with a 22.5% tax on capital. B) Replacing tKC and tLC with a 20% tax on cheese. C) Replacing tKW and tLW with a 20% tax on wine. D) Replacing tLW and tLC with a 17.5% tax on labour. E) All of the above. Please explain
