Suppose that a firm has production function f(K, L) = K2a + Lª where a > 1. Assume that PK = PLwhere pk is the price of capital per unit and på is the price of labour per unit. If the firm isproducing at an optimal point then which of the following can we conclude?The firm will use equal quantities of capital and labour.The firm will use twice as much capital as labour.O The marginal rate of technical substitution will equal the price ratio.O The firm will only use capital in production.O More than one of the above.

We must examine the conditions necessary for profit maximization in a firm's production in order to…

May I know the correct answer???
Suppose that the production function is What is the average product of labor AP₁, holding capital fixed at K? OA. APL = L-0.25 0.25 B. APL= q/L. O C. APL = 0.75L-0.250.25 q=L0.75K0.25 D. Both a and b. E. All of the above.
Which of the following production functions exhibit decreasing returns to scale? In each case y is output and K and L are inputs. Select one: O a. y= 3K1/2L1/2 O b. y=2K+ 3L. Oc y=K12L2/3 O d. y=K0.5L0.25
2. Consider the production function given by Y= altbK. The prices of labor and capital are wLand wK, respectively. a. Find the conditional input demand for L and K b. Find the cost function C. How will an increase in wk affect the labor demand in a? Show graphically d. If K is fixed at 10, find the conditional labor demand
In the Cost Minimization Problem, the isoquant curve for an output level equal to the output quota? Illustrates the cost of labor and capital a firm pays to produce a level of output in excess of an output quota. Illustrates all combinations of labor and capital that a firm cannot afford. Illustrates all combinations of labor and capital that a firm can afford. O Illustrates all combinations of labor and capital that a firm can use to produce a level of output equal to the output quota.
When production is characterized by diminishing marginal productivity: increasing the amount of one input used means you must use more of another input. None of the answers is correct. unskilled workers are less productive than skilled workers. All Answers are correct. O output must increase with each additional unit of the input used in production.
Suppose you find that at a given input bundle the TRS=-2. Then you can conclude that at that input bundle: labour is more productive than capital O capital is more productive than labour labour and capital are equally productive O there is not enough information to answer

Suppose that the production function of a firm can be written as Q = 0.5K0.8L0.3. Which of the following is the equation for the average product of labor (APL)? O 0.3L-0.7 O K0.810.3 O 0.5K0.8L-0.7 O (0.7*0.5) K0.8L-0.7 O 0.5K0.810.3
8. If a firm has a production function of the form: Q = L0.5K2, what can we conclude? (a) The firm has a quasi-concave production function and will experience constant marginal returns to labour and increasing marginal returns to capital. (b) The firm has a quasi-concave production function and will experience decreasing marginal returns to labour and increasing marginal returns to capital. (c) The firm has a convex production function and will experience increasing marginal returns to labour and increasing marginal returns to capital. (d) The firm has a convex production function and will experience constant marginal returns to labour and increasing marginal returns to capital. (e) The firm has a linear production function and will experience decreasing marginal returns to labour and increasing marginal returns to capital.
