1. A basic assumption of the short run is that a firm: A) B) C) can employ more workers and add more capital to the production process. cannot adjust its workforce or the amount of capital it uses. can reduce the number of workers it uses, but it cannot adjust how much capital it D) can freely adjust the amount of labor and capital that it employs. Use the following to answer question...

Production with One Variable Input The following table provides data related to the production technology of a firm that use only two inputs – labor and capital – to produce output. In the short-run, the firm’s capital stock is fixed. Amount of labor input Amount of output Amount of capital input Average product of labor Marginal product of labor 0 0 10 1 15 10 2 40 10 3 70 10 4 95 10 5 110 10 6 120 10...

Consider the production function given by y = f(L,K) = L^(1/2) K^(1/3) , where y is the output, L is the labour input, and K is the capital input. (a) Does this exhibit constant, increasing, or decreasing returns to scale? (b) Suppose that the firm employs 9 units of capital, and in the short-run, it cannot change this amount. Then what is the short-run production function? (c) Determine whether the short-run production function exhibits diminishing marginal product of labour. (d)...

Q1 [30 points] Show in a diagram using isoquants that a production function can have diminishing marginal return to a factor and constant returns to scale? With the help of a diagram explain the concepts of "isoquant", "diminishing marginal return to a factor", and "constant returns to scale". What are the similarities and differences between indifference curves and isoquants.

8. Consider the production function Q = (-1/2 + K1/2)2/3, where L denotes labor and K denotes capital. How many of the following statements are true for this production function? • Production exhibits increasing returns to scale. • For each additional unit of labor, the firm must give up decreasing amounts of capital to maintain output. If the firm is currently using 2 units of labor and 8 units of capital, then according to the MRTS it can trade 2...
