Suppose that the production function is Q=2K+5L for a firm. If price per unit of labor is 5 Turkish Liras (P, = 5TL ), price per unit of capital is 10 Turkish Liras (Pr =10TL) and the financial capasity of firm for production is 600 Turkish Liras (C = 600 TL ), find the maximum amount of output (production). (Hint: please be careful about the production function as it is linear which means that the inputs (capital and labor) are perfect substitutes, so here you have to remember the equilibrium conditions for perfect substitutes.)

(I) Compute the marginal products with respect to labor L and capital K for both production functions ! (II) Which company's the marginal products is/are larger ? What happened to the original level of production after a year ? (III) Do the production functions exhibit increasing, constant or decreasing returns to scale ? b) Suppose now, we compare production functions of company O that discovered the vaccine to a second company M. The production function of M is given by VM = K0.6 L0.4 (I) Compute the marginal products with respect to labor L and capital K for this pro- duction function ! (II) If both companies used the same equal amount of labor L and capital K, which of them will generate more output ? (III) If the…A firm is able to adjust both L and K and has a production function q = KL, where K is the amount of capital and L is the amount of labor it uses as inputs. The cost per unit of capital is r and the cost per unit of labor is w. The (conditional) demand for capital (also known as the optimal level of capital) is given by: O qwr O the square root of qr/w O qw/r O q/wr O the square root of qw/r
- 7. A fast-food company in Hermanus has the following cost function: TC = 10 + 3K + 2L, where L is the number of labour hours and K is the number of machines they have to use. They have a production function of Q = 2KL, where Q represents the number of meals produced per day. The company has to make at least 75 meals every day. Using the Lagrangian method of production optimization, calculate the optimal number of labourers and machines needed to meet this quota. (6)For a producer willing to produce 100 units of output at the minimum cost, what is the optimal combination of labor (L), measured in number of workers, and capital (K), measured in units of capital, if his production function is q=L_K and he pays w $64/hour per worker, and he pays r-$4 for each unit of capital. OA) L-200, K-50 OB) L-50, K-200 OCL-25, K-400 ODIL-400, K-25 O EL-25, K-200Q.No.3. Consider the production function: (3) Y = 0.75X + 0.0042X2 – 0.000023X3 (a) At what level of X, the output will be maximum? (b) If input price is 0.15$ and output price is 4$ then at what level of X, profit will be maximum?
- Trotter Inc is a polling company. Trotter uses both labor, L, (measured in hours worked) and capital, K, (measured in phone lines) to conduct surveys. The production function of Trotter’s is given by Q=10L^0.25 K^0.25 where Q is measured in surveys completed per hour. The price of a unit of L is $16 per hour and the price of a unit of K is $1 per hour. Trotter’s has additional fixed costs of $227 per hour. For parts (a) – (b) below assume that the number of phone lines is fixed in the short run. In particular, Trotter's has 16 phone lines (so K = 16). This results in additional fixed costs in the short run of $16 (ie in addition to the 227). a) In the short run what is Trotter’s (compensated) demand curve for labor? What is the variable cost curve? What is the total cost curve? b) In the short run, what is the marginal cost curve of Trotter’s? What is the average cost curve? What is the optimal size of the firm? Illustrate the short run marginal and average cost curves. For parts (c)-…4) A firm faces a production function of twittle-twaps: Q(K,Lp,Ln) = 5*K(2/5)*LP(1/3)*LN(1/5) per hour, where capital (K), production labor (LP), and non-production labor (LN) are input factors used in production. The firm operates in a competitive market, where they are a price taker within the capital & labor markets and its own price (r = 40, wP = 25, wN = 50, P = 20). Answer the following.a. If capital and non-production labor are fixed at K = 32 and LN = 243, what is the general form MPLP and graph Q wrt to LP changing [you do not need to solve for LP yet].b. Is this production function decreasing, constant, or increasing returns to scale and why.c. Given the wage of production workers and the price of twittle-twaps, what is the optimal number of LP to employ to maximize profits and the quantity produced (VMPLP = wP).d. If the firm can control both K and LP, what does the Isoquant curve look like and its slope in relative terms if LN is fixed at 243 units [IQ slope =…4) A firm faces a production function of twittle-twaps: Q(K,Lp,Ln) = 5*K(2/5)*LP(1/3)*LN(1/5) per hour, where capital (K), production labor (LP), and non-production labor (LN) are input factors used in production.

The price for capital is NOK 125 per unit. a) Does the product function provide constant, increasing, or decreasing scale benefits? b) Kjell wants to produce 400 cakes at the lowest possible cost. How much labor and does he need capital? What will be the cost? c) The bank is not impressed by Kjell's production technology. He therefore receives a loan of only NOK 1,875. How many cakes can Kjell produce a maximum of NOK 1,875. d) Make a factor diagram (N, K). Note Kjell's adaptation from problem b) and c). Draw the isocost lines and the substituent template. e) A short-term strike leads to the price of labor rising to NOK 750. Kjell still has only NOK 1,875. How will Kjell change his adaptation from c)?How many cakes does he produce now? f) Kjell eventually starts making money, and wants to expand production to 650 cakes.
