Let S represent the amount of steel produced (in tons). Steel production is related to the amount of labor used (4) and the amount of capital used (C) by the following function. S- 20100.70 In this formula L represents the units of labor input and C the units of capital input. Each unit of labor costs $50, and each unit of capital costs $100.

PER-UNIT COST (Dollars) Jouet is a profit-maximizing firm producing toy trains-a capital-intensive good-which are sold in its home country, France, and abroad in Russia. Jouet chose foreign production as a method of penetrating the Russian market and has to decide whether it is more efficient to directly invest in ussia to establish a production subsidiary or to license the technology to a Russian firm to produce its goods. n the following graph, AVCR is the average variable cost curve of a Russian firm producing toy trains.

The production of a certain good in terms of the amount of labour invested L and the amount of capital invested K, is given by the production function Q = 5 L²/3 K ¹/3 At this moment 512 units of labour and 1 000 units of capital are invested daily. This means that at this moment 3200 units are produced daily. a) The company receives an order for 3200 units. Give an implicit equation for the combinations (L, K) resulting in a production of 3200 units. b) Determine K'(L) for L = 100 using implicit differentiation. Interpret your result in a sentence in the context of the word problem. c) Determine the following expression and interpret your result in a sentence in the context of the word problem: 100 K'(100) K d) Set up the graph of K as a function of L using a logarithmic scale on both axes. Interpret the slope in L = 100.
