Suppose in the long-rung the production function of a competitive firm is Q=f(L,K)= L1/5 K 1/2 , where L is the amount of labor and K is the amount of capital. The cost per unit of labor is w and the cost of capital is r, which is the interest rate. The price per unit of output is p. Derive unconditional factor demand functions.
(This is a single question with five parts to the answer. I would appreciate help with all five parts if possible. Image screenshot of the original question with the formulas more easily readable than can be identified here is attached) Tech firms produce goods and services from labor and energy. The total cost in dollars to produce y amount of goods and services for each firm j is cj(yj) = yi2. There are 100 identical tech firms which all behave competitively. What is the individual supply of technological goods and services? What is the market supply of technological goods and services? Suppose the demand curve for these goods is D(p)=200-50p. What is the equilibrium price and quantity sold? How much is the total surplus of this economy? Now suppose that the industry makes a one-time investment for $K amount of dollars to innovate in a new technology of production that allows every firm to reduce its cost of production to a 1/4 fraction of the previous cost. What is the new total…
4. A competitive firm has the three-factor production function f(x, y, z) = (x + y)2/3z4/3. The factor prices used to be w = 4, wy = 2, and w, = 1. Suppose %3D that the price of factor y doubled while the other two prices stayed the same. Then the minimum cost of production: A. doubled. B. increased by more than 50% but less than 100%. C. increased by less than 50%. D. stayed the same.

The city government is considering two tax proposals: • A lump-sum tax of $300 on each producer of hamburgers. • A tax of $1 per burger, paid by producers of hamburgers. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax? Check all that apply. Marginal cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. O Average fixed cost will decrease. O Average variable cost will increase. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax? Check all that apply. Average total cost will remain unchanged. Marginal cost will increase. O Average variable cost will increase. Average fixed cost will decrease.
A firm's production function takes the form: Q(L, K) = min {8L, 6K}, where Q represents output and L and K represent labour and capital, respectively and where w and r give the prices of labour and capital. What would be the expression for the firm's marginal costs? O O O O MC = w + 1/ MC = 6r + 8w MC = W MC 6w+8r W MC = 8 +! 6 + 3r 6w+8r = Q (²= ² + ² )
