- Consider the following production function for shirts: q = v6 L3/4K/4, where L is worker-hours, and K is sewing machine-hours. a. Compute the marginal products of labor and capital, the average product of labor, and the marginal rate of technical substitution of labor for capital (i.e. how many units of capital are needed to make up for the loss of one unit of labor)? b. Are there diminishing returns to labor (that is, does the marginal product of labor decrease when labor L increases)? What about to capital? Is there diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS)? с.Suppose a production function is given by the equation Q = LVK. 1. Graph the isoquants corresponding to Q = 10, and Q = 20. 2. MP = √K and MP = 0.5(L/VK). Find the Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution LK (MRTSLK). Do these isoquants exhibit diminishing marginal rates of technical substitution? (Does the slope get flatter as L increases?) 3. The cost of labor is w = $5 per labor hour and the cost of capital is r = $15 per machine hour. What is the equation of the $1500 iso-cost curve?Suppose that the production function is f(x1,x2) = (xf + x£)», where a and b are positive constants. For what values of a and b is there a diminishing technical rate of substitution (TRS)?

The marginal rate of technical substitution is 2 (i.e., the marginal product of labor is twice the marginal product of capital) and the input price ratio is 3 (i.e., a unit of labor costs three times as much as a unit of capital) 2. The marginal rate of technical substitution is 2 (i.e., the marginal product of labor is twice the marginal product of capital) and the input price ratio is 1 (i.e., a unit of labor costs the same as a unit of capital) 3. The marginal rate of technical substitution is initially equal to the input price ratio, but the firm's machines depreciate, so that the marginal product of capital decreases. 4. The marginal rate of technical substitution is initially equal to the input price ratio, but the firm successfully negotiates a lower rate of rent for their machines, so that the price of capital decreases. 5.
