- Firm "Happy Capitalist" has following production function: f(K, L) = 2*k0.2L0.8. Furthermore, it is known that cost of capital (r) is equal to 2 and cost of labour (w) is 4. Having said that, capitalist wishes to maintain an output of 250 at lowest possible cost. We ask: a) Solve cost minimisation. Also, is it a corner solution or an interior solution; b) Graph previous result: isoquant and isocost of production; c) Determine average productivity of each factor; d) Is it a function with returns to scale of what type, increasing, decreasing or constant? e) Calculate elasticity of input-outputFirm "Happy Capitalist" has following production function: f(K, L) = 2*k0.2L0.8.

Then many of procedures were unclear. I need it to be a clear and clean development where steps are well detailed and checked before submission. Thank you1/3 1/3 Farmer Joe's production function is f(x1, x2) = ", where xị is the number of pounds of lemons he uses and x2 is the number of hours he spends 1/21/2 2wi"wy3/2, where y is the squeezing them. His cost function is c(w1. w2, y) = number of units of lemonade produced. (a) If lemons cost $1 per pound, the wage rate is $1 per hour, and the price of lemonade is p, what is his marginal cost function?
- Production function of a company is given by f(x;y)= root of x + root of y where x is labor and y is capital. Cost of labor is 2 currency units, while the cost of capital is 1 currency unit. What are the minimal cost to produce 10 units of the product? What is the change in the costs, if the production volume would increase by 50 %?A production function is given by the following: F(L, K) = 5L2 + 4KiL %3D The production function exhibits: O Increasing returns to scale O Decreasing returns to scale O Constant returns to scale O Diminishing marginal product of laborA firm can manufacture a product according to the production function Q = F(K, L) = K0.5L0.5. (a) What is the average product of labor, APL, when the level of capital is fixed at 36 units and the firm uses 16 units of labor? (b) What is the marginal product of labor, MPL, when capital is fixed at 36 units? (c) Suppose capital is fixed at 36 units. If the firm can sell its output at a price of $100 per unit of output and can hire labor at $40 per unit of labor, how many units of labor should the firm hire in order to maximize profits?
- Both capital and labor are variable inputs. Suppose the wage rate of labor is 16 (per hour) and the rental price of capital is 20 (per hour). The downward sloping smooth curves that bend in towards the origin are a firm's isoquants. The downward sloping straight lines are isocost lines. If the ferm plans to produce 20 units of output lper hour), its minimized cost is Capital slope=-0.8 (6,5.5) (4,5) (2,3) q=30 q=20 q=10 Labor O 180 O 160 O 164 O 122Ten-year old Sarah is starting a lemonade stand, she uses baskets of lemons (L) and other ingredients (O). She is able to produce lemonade according to the production function f(L, O) = 1 2 L 2O. The cost of a basket of lemons is $10 and the average cost of the other goods is $4. (a) Derive MPL and MPO. (b) Currently Sarah is using 4 baskets of lemons and 40 units of the other goods. Using this information, calculate MPL and MPO. (c) True/False. At her current use of inputs Sarah is minimizing costs. If true, explain why. If false, what would you recommend Sarah do? (d) Sarah wants to produce 320 units of lemonade. Determine the cost minimizing combination of inputs to use. (e) Assuming no changes in the market price of lemonade nor in the prices of the inputs, if Sarah continues to produce 320 units of lemonade in the long run, what will Sarah’s long run costs be.Suppose you run a factory whose short-run production function is given by f (L) = 180L² – 3L³. (a) Find mathematical expressions for the total product of labor, the average product of labor and the marginal product of labor. (b) On two separate axes, graph TPL, APL, and M PL. The diagrams do not need to be scale, but be sure they are internally consistent. In other words, make sure that all relevant relationships between the three lines are correct. If you have trouble figuring out what the graph looks like, feel free to use a graphing calculator or an online graphing tool to find the basic shape. Find the quantity of labor associated with each of the following points and label it on your diagram: (i) the maximum value of TPL, (ii) the maximum value of APL, (iii) the maximum value of MPL.
