The owner of Mujur Café estimates that the café's revenue has grown exponentially represented by the dR function R'(t) = Cekt, where t is time (month) and k is a constant growth (note: R'(t) = or it is the dt" rate of growth of revenue function). If it is assumed that R'(0) = Rp 50,000,000 per month and R'(1) = Rp 60,000,000 per month, then

F (L, K) = L0.2K0.7， The wage rate (price per unit of labour) is w = 2 and the capital rental rate (price per unit of capital) is r = 7. Derive the equation of the isoquant for y = 2 (with K in the vertical axis and L in the horizontal axis). Use the first and second derivative to show that this curve is decreasing and convex. Provide a graphical representation of the isoquant indicating at least one combination of labour and capital in this curve.
AS U4 Read the following scenario. Superconductor technology is becoming a widespread and indispensible component of the machines we use today. Superconductors can be found in everything from transportation to electronic signal transmission. Due to our increasing reliance on technology, the demand for superconductors has skyrocketed. As a result, production has also increased exponentially, which has greatly reduced the cost per unit. Use the scenario to answer the following questions. Explain how the producer's marginal revenue, the marginal cost of producing superconductors, economic profit on superconductor technology, and the producer's economic profit have changed
Was there an error in calculation of average productivity? Since Function q = 10 L - 80 - 0.2L^2 then q/L = 10 - 80/L - 0.2 L, correct?Can you verify? Thanks
Questions 3. For each of the following production functions, determine whether it exhibits increasing, constant or decreasing returns to scale: a) Q = K + L b) Q = L + L/K c) Q = Min(2K,2L) d) Q = (L.5 )(K.5)
2. (This problem derives the general result that any polynomial function is of a lower asymptotic order than any exponential function.) First, we prove a special case. Suppose that we have two functions, f(n) = n² and g(n) = 2". We will prove that f(n) = O(g(n)). • port (a). (c) Show that, for any n ≥ no, it must be the case that f(n) ≤ cog(n) = f(n+1) ≤ cog(n+1). Precisely state the argument by induction that n² = 0(2¹). Now, define f(n) = nk where k ≥ 1, g(n) = a", where a ≥ 1. (d) (Slightly harder). Argue that, for any k and a, there exists some n₁ such that : (1₁+¹)* < a.

(f) (Harder) Show that, for any n ≥ n₁, it must be the case that f(n) ≤ cig(n) ⇒ f(n+1) ≤ cig(n+1), and therefore nk = O(a") for all k, a ≥ 1.
Suppose that the average yearly cost per item for producing x items of a business product is 81 If the current production is x - 9 and production is increasing at a rate of 4 items per year, find the rate of change of the average cost. The average cost is decreasing at the rate of S per year.
Your automobile assembly plant has a Cobb-Douglas production function given byq=x0.4y0.6, where q is the number of automobiles it produces per year, x is the number of employees, and y is the daily operating budget (in dollars). Annual operating costs amount to an average of $28,000 per employee plus the operating budget of $365y. Assume that you wish to produce 3,000 automobiles per year at a minimum cost. How many employees should you hire? (Round your answer to the nearest employee.)x = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. employees
oj Consider the Cobb-Douglas production function P(L, K) = 6L0.6 K04_ Find the %3D total units of production when 19 units of labor and 12 units of capital are invested.
2. A firm has invested $1,000,000 in the purchase of new machinery in its plant and does not intend to incur major capital expenditure over the next two years. The firm can manufacture a product according to the annual production function: Q(L) = 30L - L², while the annual labour costs in thousands of dollars are given by the function C(L) = 41² + 20L. The firm sells the product at $10,000 per unit. a) Determine the optimal level of production and labour to maximize profits. b) Find annual profits. c) Calculate the present value of the net profit achieved during 2 years of production assuming an interest rate of 10%. Your answers: Optimal level of production Optimal level of labour Annual profits NPV
