So here question is present in three parts.
00:03
So at part a we have to find the total cost as function of w v and q.
00:12
So we need to determine the quantities of capital labor that minimize the cost for the given level of output so we can use the production function q is equals to k to the power 1 by 3 multiply by l to the power 2 by so we can rewrite in terms of capital which is k is equals to q divided by l to the power 3 by 2.
00:42
So substituting this expression for k into the cost function.
00:47
We got c is equals to w multiply by k plus v multiply by l.
00:56
So this is l now, therefore we got w we put the value of k that is q divided by l to the power 3 by 2 v multiply by l.
01:13
So now here we can say c is equals to therefore the total cost function in the form of w v q is equals to pc is equals to w multiply by q divided by l to the power 3 by 2 plus v multiply by l.
01:36
So this is our final answer for part 1 or part a now in part b, we have to find the marginal cost as a function of w v and q.
01:51
So we differentiate the total cost with respect to q.
01:55
So we got mc is equals to dc.
01:58
This is also we can represent it by c.
02:01
So dc by dq.
02:04
So now put the values here when we taking the function.
02:08
So mc is equals to 3 by 2 multiply by w multiply by q by l to the power 1 by 2 minus 0 plus 0 when we solve it...
