suppose that input prices are (w, r) >> 0, where w is the wage rate (price of a unit of labor) and r is the interest rate (price of a unit of capital). Suppose the firm must produce y > 0 units of output. (a) Formulate the firm's cost minimization problem. (b) Illustrate the solution to the cost minimization problem in an ap- propriate diagram. (c) Solve the cost minimization problem to find the firm's conditional input demand functions for labor and capital, and its cost function. (d) Assume that w = r = 4. In appropriate diagrams, illustrate the firm's (i) conditional input demand for labor, (ii) its conditional input demand for capital, (iii) its total, average and marginal costs.
