uestion 3 (1 point) the production function is f(x1, x2) = x1/21x1/22. If the price of factor 1 is $10 and the price of factor 2 is $20, in what proportions should the firm use factors 1 and 2 if it wants to maximize profits? Question 3 options: We can’t tell without knowing the price of output. x1 = 2x2. x1 = 0.50x2. x1 = x2. x1 = 20x2. Question 4 (1 point) A firm has the production function f(X,...

8. Let X1, X2,...,X, U(0,1) random variables and let M = max(X1, X2,...,xn). - Show that M. 1, that is, M, converges in probability to 1 as n o . - Show that n(1 - M.) Exp(1), that is, n(1 - M.) converges in distribution to an exponential r.v. with mean 1 as n .
What are the marginal utilities of x1 and x2 given the following utility functions, then find the MRS: U(x1, x2) = 4 x1 + 8 x2 U(x1, x2) = (x1 + 2)(x2 + 1) Example. To find the marginal utility for x1, think about how a 1 unit increase in x1, keeping all else constant, will change the amount of utility U. Once you have the marginal utilities for both, you can calculate the MRS.
