Suppose that the firm has a cost function of the form
C(q) = q3 - 3q2 + 4q + 1
a) What is the supply curve of the firm?
b) Plot the marginal cost curve and the average cost curve
c) What is the surplus for a price of p = 10?
Now suppose the firm has a production function of the form
f(k, l, m) = (klm)^(1/4) and faces input prices (1, 2, 8) for (k, l, m) respectively.
d) What is the firm's cost function? What is their supply function? How muchcapital k does the firm use to produce q = 4?
e) Now suppose that the firm's capital is fixed at k = 16? What is the firm'sshort-run average cost function?
f) What is the short-run cost function when k = 40?
