hours of l
A farmer uses K units of machinery and L hours of labor to produce C tons of corn, with the production function, C= 2L0.5 K. The farmer currently uses L = 20 and K = 10. Suppose the input price ratio is w/r = 1. What would you tell the farmer to do in order to minimize his cost of production given the current level of output?
a. You should use more machinery and more labor.
b. You should use more machinery and less labor.
c. You should use less machinery and more labor.
d. You should use less machinery and less labor.

a. C = 4q
b. C = 0.8q
c. C = 0.4q
d. C = 160q
e. C = 80q
