(b) Suppose the firm decided to scale all inputs up or down by some amount t > 0. What will happen to the level of output?Assume the production function is given as Y = 4X + 3X ² - 0.2X 3 %3D Where Y is amount of output produced and X is levels of input used, Then, A. Calculate the APx, MPx and Ep B. Determine the value of X that maximize APx and MPx and calculate Ep when APy and MPx maximum value of X XAnswer the Constrained Optimization: Cobb-Douglas Production Function:1. Based from the factor shares of the two inputs, what will happen to the number of output ifit the firm decides to triple both the amount of labor and capital?2. State the optimization problem of the firm.3. Solve for the formulas of the Marginal Product of Labor (MPL), and Marginal product ofCapital (MPK)4. Using your knowledge of the tangency condition in Producer’s theory, find the combinationof K and L that the firm should use to produce the maximum possible output. Do not solvethe problem using the Lagrangian method.Note: The tangency conditions just states that the slope of the production function must beequal to the slope of the isocost function.5. What is the maximum possible output that the firm could earn given the constraint it faces?
