RBW produces light sticks for one of their legendary girl groups, Kara. Suppose that RBWuses capital, K, and labor, L, to produce the light sticks. The production function is given as: Q(K,L)=2K0.75L0.51. Identify if RBW’s production function is increasing, constant, or decreasing returns to scale with a brief explanation. Also, solve for the company’s cost minimization problem by providing conditional demand functions of labor and capital, with respect to their input prices. Assume that w is the wage of labor and r is the rent cost of capital.2. Suppose that RBW is preparing for a mini-fan meet for the group’s “When I move” mini-album launch and that they have to provide 200 light sticks. The wage of labor, w, is $6.00 and the cost of capital, r, is $2.00. Determine how much labor and capital they have to use and the total cost of producing the light sticks.

Looking at the following plot of a firm's production function, represented by isoquants for production levels and isocost lines for different total costs of production. Which of the following are true? 101 00 9 K, Capital per unit time Cost $38.80 2 Cost $18:40 6 L. Labour per unit time 10 Y Y 4 Y 2 a. Points a and b are each cost minimizing points for the firm at different levels of output. b. Point d will have higher output and lower total cost than point c c. Point e has less output than point b, but a higher total cost. d. The production function exhibits increasing returns to scale. e. It's clear that Point c does not correspond to a cost-minimizing bundle of inputs.
