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].

Tiffany's company has the production function Q=2K^0.5L^0.5,
where Q measures output, K measures machine hours, and L measures
labor hours. Let the wage rate be W, and suppose that the rental
rate of capital is R=$20 and the firm wants to produce 400 units of
output. Use the Lagrange method to find the demand curve for labor
as a function of the wage rate. Your answer will have L on the left
hand side of the equation. On the right...

Suppose a firm's production function is Q = (KL)0.5. In the short run, this firm's capital stock is fixed at 100. Calculate the firm's short run total cost curve if w = 5 and v = 5. It can be shown (using calculus) that this firm's short run marginal costs are .1Q. In order to maximize its profits, how much would the firm choose to produce if the market price of its output was $5, $10, or $20. For each...
