QUESTION 7 A firm's production function given by Q=2KL where K, L and Q denote capital, labor, and output, respectively. The firm wants to produce an output of 32 units at a minimum cost. The wages and rent are $2. Show the solution graphically and find the value of capital and labor that the firm will use at the solution (Using symmetry, you can easily do this).

a software production firm, average product has started falling and total output indicated diminishing trend. The production manager Mr. Yahya called you and asked you to see the condition of marginal product. You analyzed the situation and reported that marginal product falling more than average product. Mr. Yahya got surprised. In your opinion which situation the firm is heading to?
Suppose a firm manufactures coffee makers and sells them for $75$75 each. The costs incurred for production and sale of the coffee makers are $1,000$1,000 plus $13$13 for each coffee maker produced.a. Write the function for monthly total costs C(x)=C(x)= b. What is the fixed cost? c. What is the marginal cost? d. Interpret the marginal cost. Each additional coffee maker made decreases the cost by this many dollars. If the number of coffee makers increases by this amount, the cost increases by $1. Each additional coffee maker made yields this many dollars in cost. If the number of units made is increased by this amount, the cost decreases by $1. e. What is C(300)C(300) ? f. Interpret C(300)C(300) When this many coffee makers are produced the cost is $300300. For every additional coffee maker produced the cost increases by this much. This is the cost (in dollars) of producing 300 coffee makers. For each $1 increase in cost this many more coffee makers can…

Suppose you have a production technology that can be characterized by a learning curve. Every time you increase production by one unit, your marginal cost decreases by $8. There are no fixed costs, and the first unit costs you $64 to produce. Use the given information to fill in the marginal cost of each unit, as well as the total cost and average cost of each level of output.
