Question: PLEASE PROVIDE STEP BY STEP SOLUTIONS

1a) For each of the following production functions (a-c) an swer the following questions (i-v):

i) Calculate the marginal products MPL and MPK.

ii) Calculate M RTSL,K and determine if this is diminishing as good L increases.

iii) If Q0 = 64, w = 1 and r = 4, determine long-run costminimizing combination of labor and capital and the associated total cost.

iv) If Q0 = 64,w=1 and r = 4,determine short- run cost minimizing combination of labor and capital and the associated total cost if the firm is stuck with K Ì„ = 1 unit of capital. (numbers may not be nice)

v) How much money is the firm losing by being stuckwith K = 1 in the short run.

(a) Q(L,K)= 4L1/2K1/2.

(b) Q(L,K) =16L2 +4K2.

(c) Q(L,K)=4LK+12K.

1b) For each of the following production functions (a and b) answer the following questions (i-iv). Find the following equations in terms of Q0, w and r.

i) Long-run capital and labor demand curve.

ii) Long-run total cost curve.

iii) Short-run capital and labor demand curve if the firm is stuck with L Ì„ = 2.

iv) Short-run total cost if the firm is stuck with L Ì„ = 2.

(a) Q(L,K) = 5LK.

(b) Q(L,K) = LK+3K.
