2) Consider the following production function for shirts: q=13/4K1/4, where L is worker-hours, and K is sewing machine-hours. The cost of one hour of labor L is w The cost of renting a sewing machine for one hour is r. What type of returns to scale does this production function have? a) b) Compute the marginal product of labor L and marginal product of capital K.

Consider a textile manufacturing firm that uses labor and capital inputs and has the production technology given by the equation Q = 8K0.25L 0.5 , where Q is output, K is capital and L is labor. Each unit of capital costs 10 TL while each unit of labor costs 5 TL. a) Does this firm have increasing, decreasing or constant returns to scale? (1) b) Define the cost minimization problem faced by firm. What is the objective function, what is...

The production function of a firm is given as Q = 50√KL. Here Q is the output produced, K is the capital input and L is the labor input. a) Obtain the production function by using factor demand functions. b) Find the long run total cost function for this production function in terms of input prices and outputs. If the unit cost of labor is $ 25 and the rent cost of capital is $ 100, write the total cost...

All firms produce according to a Cobb-Douglas production function. This production function should look familiar to you. It says that output Q is related to inputs K and L as: This production function implies that the cost-minimizing demand for capital will be Ou where w is the wage rate, r is the cost of capital, Q is output level, and α and β are parameters We will assume that α + β 1; this is the constant-returns-to-scale assumption we saw...
