Suppose the process of producing lightweight parkas by Polly's Parkas is described by the function q=40K04(L-40)0.6 where q is the number of parkas produced, K the number of computerized stitching-machine hours, and L the number of person-hours of labor. In addition to capital and labor, $40 worth of raw materials is used in the production of each parka. Note that and да ак =40(0.4)K 0.60 (L-40)0.6 да =40K04 (0.6)(L-40) 0.4 -0.40 aL By minimizing cost subject to the production function, derive the cost-minimizing demands for K and L as a functi of output (q), wage rates (w), and rental rates on machines (r). The cost-minimizing demands for K and Lare
