The production function is q = L√F. The price of one unit of land is 3, the price of unit of fertilizer is 1. The farmer is currently using 4 units of land and 4 units of fertilizer. b) Suppose now that the farmer cannot modify the amount of land but can modify the amount of fertilizer. Write the cost function. c) The farmer can bring the winter melons to a market and sell them at price 1. Find the optimal quantity to produce. Show that the profit is negative. d) Suppose that now the farmer can buy more land.
