Question 5: Suppose a brewery uses a Cobb-Douglas production function for his production. He studies the production process and finds the following. An additional machine-hour of fermentation capacity would increase output by 500 bottles per day (i.e. MPK = 500). An additional man-hour of labor would increase output by 1000 bottles per day (i.e. MPL = 1000). The price of a man-hour of labor is $50 per hour. The price of a machine-hour of fermentation capacity is $5 per hour. 3. Suppose that the price of a machine-hour of fermentation capacity rises to $25 per hour. How does this change the answer from part 1?
