[Short-Run Production] Suppose that a firm is producing in the short run with output given by: Q = 200.5L – 2.5L2, The firm hires labor at a wage of $25 per hour and sells the good in a competitive market at P = $50 per unit. Find the firm’s optimal use of labor and associated level of output. (For extra practice, what is the firm’s associated profit?) I have already finished and went to check my work on Chegg and...

Consider a firm whose production is given by Q(K, L) = K^1/2 L^1/2, where K and L are the quantities of capital and labour production inputs. Prices of capital and labour are both $2 per unit. (a) Suppose that, in the short run, capital is fixed at 4 units. What would be the minimum cost of producing 20 units of output? Illustrate your answer. (b) Now suppose that, in the long run, both capital and labour are variable. What would...

2. Suppose that a firm’s production function is Q = 10 L½ K½ and the unit cost of labor is $20, capital is $80, and the product price is $12 per unit. The firm is currently producing 100 units of output and has determined that its cost minimizing quantities of labor and capital usage for this level of output is 20 and 5 respectively. The product price is $12 per unit. a. Determine the current total cost for 100 units,...

A firm production function is given by q(l,k) = l0.5·k0.5, where q is number of units of output produced, l the number of units of labor input used and k the number of units of capital input used. In the short-run the firm’s amount of capital is fixed at k1 = 100. When l = 25, the firm’s marginal product of labor is [MPl].
