Question

Given the following production function: q = 10KL. Assume that w = 25, r = 75 and C = 1200. (a) Mathematically find the minimum cost combination of capital and labour to produce a given level of output.b) Does the production function in part (a) show increasing returns to scale, decreasing returns to scale, or constant returns to scale? Explain. 

(c) Using isoquants and isocosts, graphically illustrate the effect of an increase in the wage rate, assuming the firm is producing at the same level of output.
