Takashi has non-labor income from his investments of I= $80 per day, and can earn an hourly wage at his job of $30 per hour. Assume Takashi can work (or not work) as much as 24 hours in a day. a. Write a formula for Takashi’s budget constraint as a function of L (leisure hours) and C (consumption spending per day).Draw a diagram showing this budget constraint. b. Suppose Takashi’s utility function is given by U = 2lnL+ lnC, where...

3) Suppose that you have estimated the following output function where L is labor and K is capital: Y = K1/4L1/2 You know that the current price of labor is $10 and capital cost is $1 per per machine (capital). You currently use 81 units (machines) of capital. The price of the output is $20 As we compete both internationally and within markets, the challenge of wages and technology create a balancing act relative to the capital/labor ratio....

1. A firm uses labor and machines to produce output according to the production function f(L, M) 2L2 M , where L is the number of units of labor used and M is the number of machines. The cost of labor is $20 per unit and the cost of using a machine is $5. a. Suppose that the firm wants to produce its output in the cheapest possible way. Find the input demand functions for machines and workers. Please show...

necessary. Provide economic reasoning.
4. The production technology of a firm is described by a production function Q=L+2K where L represents the number of labor hours and K the number of machine hours used in the production process. The hourly wage and rental rates are given by w and r. Calculate the total cost function for the firm when both L and K are variable inputs. (Hint: A graph may be helpful.)

Problem 2 (30 points): Kirpa is trying to decide how many bours to work each week. Her utlity is given by the following function: U(C,H)CH3, where C represents weekly consumption and H represents weekly leisure bours. Her marginal utility with respect to consumption is MUc -2cH, and her marginal utility with respect to leisure is MUH 3C3H Assume Kirpa has some assets a that she uses for weekly consumption, so that her weekly budget constralnt...

Kirpa is trying to decide how many hours to work each week. Her utility is given by the following function: U(C,H) = C2 H3 , where C represents weekly consumption and H represents weekly leisure hours. Her marginal utility with respect to consumption is MUc = 2CH3 , and her marginal utility with respect to leisure is MUH = 3C2 H2 . A) Find Kirpa's optimal H, L and C when w=$7.50 and a = $185. B) Suppose w increases...

A cylindrical soda pop can needs to have a volume of 354 cm. In order to minimize the cost of materials for this can, we wish to minimize its surface area. 1. (1 pt) Find the function that we are trying to optimize. Do not make any substitutions to this function. Are we attempting to maximize or minimize this function? 2. (2 pts) Explain why the function from number 1 cannot currently be...

Suppose that you have estimated the following output function where L is labor and K is capital: Y = K1/4L1/2 You know that the current price of labor is $10 and capital cost is $1 per per machine (capital). You currently use 81 units (machines) of capital (K). The price of the output is $20 (y). Given a fixed level of capital (K=81), and a price of $20 per unit of output, what is the level of output you will...
