1. A firm uses labor (L) and machine (K) to assemble garden benches. The firm has the pro- duction function Q = F(L,K) = 207LVK, where L is the number of full-time workers the firm hires per day and K is the number of machines the firm uses per day. Both L and K can be non-integers (for example, a worker can work for half a day). Each worker costs $100 a day and each machine costs $200 a day....
A firm uses two types of inputs, labor (L) and capital (K), to produce an output, which is sold in a perfectly competitive market. The production function is given by y = f(L, K) = L 1 6 K 1 6 for all L, K ≥ 0. The price of labor is w > 0 and the price of capital is 1. Each unit of the output is sold at price p > 0. First, we consider the short-run decision...
Clear View is a manufacturer of glass. It uses inputs of labor L (workers per week) and capital K (machines per week) to manufacture output (tonnes per week) using the technology Q=10/LVK. The wage is 900 ($ per worker) and the cost of capital is 1600 ($ per machine). In the long-run, what is the firm's cost of producing an output Q = 120 (tonnes per week)? A. 61,200 ($ per week) B. 14,400 ($ per week) 50,000 ($ per...
Consider a firm using two inputs; capital (K) and labor (L) in production. The firm's production technology is characterized by the following production function: Q = F(K, L) = 40K L In the short run (SR), the quantity of the capital (K) that the firm uses is fixed at K = 10 whereas the quantity of the labor input can be varied. Price of labor is $4,000 per worker and the price of capital is $2,000 per capital. (PL=$4,000 and...

Problem 3 [24 marks] A competitive firm uses two inputs, capital (k) and labour (), to produce one output, (y). The price of capital, W, is S1 per unit and the price of labor, wi, is SI per unit. The firm operates in competitive markets for outputs and inputs, so takes the prices as given. The production function is f(k,l) 3k025/025. The maximum amount of output produced for a givern amount of inputs is y(k, l)...
11. A firm uses K and Lunits of two inputs to produce KL units of a product, where K >0,L>0. The input factor costs are r and w per unit, respectively. The firm wants to minimize the costs of producing at least units. (a) Formulate the nonlinear programming problem that emerges. Reformulate it as a maximiza- tion problem, then write down the Kuhn-Tucker conditions for the optimum. Solve these conditions to determine K and Las functions of (r,w,Q). (b) Define...
A firm discovers that when it uses K units of capital and L units of labor, it is able to produce X = L^1/4*K^3/4 units of output. a. Draw the graph of isoquants in labor-capital plane. b. Suppose that the firm produces 24 units of output using 16 units of capital and 81 units of labor. Compute MRTS subscript LK. Compute the MPL. Compute the MPK. c. On the basis of your answer to part (b), is the equation MRTS...
