1. A firm estimates its production function as Q = -2.4 + 20*L -.5*L< + 30*K -1.00*K2 + 15*F -.3*F<. Total cost is TC = $2*L+ $2.5*K + $1.75*F. The firm wishes to produce 400 units of output. Use Excel to find the cost minimizing amounts of L, K and F. How much F (Fuel) should the firm use? A.F=7.90. B.F=9.58. C.F=10.75. D.F=12.63. E. F=14.88.
