4. Davy Metal Company produces brass fitings. Davy's engineers estimate the production function represented below as relevant for their long-run capital-labor decisions. 500L0.6K0.8, where Q- annual output measured in pounds, L - labor measured in person hours, K -capital measured in machine hours. The marginal products of labor and capital are therefore MPL-300L-0.4K0.8 MPK-400L0.6K-0.2 Davy's employees are relatively highly skilled, so labour costs 15 per hour. The firm estimates a rental charge of є50 per hour on capital. Davy forecasts...

3. (5 points) Consider a manufacturing company whose daily production output (number of daily produced goods) is described by the Cobb-Douglas production function 20x1/2,1/2, where x is the number of units of labour (number of working hours) and y is the number of units expended on capital (number of machine hours).

1. Consider a steel firm that faces a convex isoquant production function where the inputs are labor and capital. The production function yields constant returns to scale. The firm is currently at a cost-minimizing combination of labor and capital for the desired level of output. Suppose the capital used in the production process emits low amounts of polluted wastewater into a nearby river. In order to promote the use of the environmentally friendly capital the government provides a unit subsidy...
