Suppose the production function is Q = min {K/2, 2L}. How much output is produced when 4 units of labor and 12 units of capital are employed? A. 2 B. 4 C. 8 D. 6
Added by Carl T.
Step 1
For K = 12 and L = 4, we have: Q = min{12/2, 2(4)} Q = min{6, 8} The minimum value between 6 and 8 is 6. Show more…

Suppose the production function is Q = min{K, 2L}. How much output is produced when 4 units of labor and 9 units of capital are employed?
Narayan H.
If the production function is given by Q = 300∑L - 4L, where Q denotes output and L denotes the size of the workforce, calculate the value of marginal product of labour if L = 9. A. 16 B. 146 C. 11 D. 46

(a) Suppose the production function is Q = min {K, 2L}. How much output is produced when 4 units of labor and 9 units of capital are employed? Please explain. (b) You are an efficiency expert hired by a manufacturing firm that uses K and L as inputs. The firm produces and sells a given output. If w = $40, r = $100, MPL = 20, and MPK = 40, is the firm minimizing costs? If not, should the firm use more labor and less capital, or less labor and more capital?
