Frisbees are produced according to the production function q = 2K+Lwhere q =output of frisbees per hour, K =capital input per hour, L =labor input per hour.
a) If K = 10, how much L is needed to produce 100 frisbees per hour? b) If K = 25, how much L is needed to produce 100 frisbees per hour?
c) Graph the q = 100 isoquant. Indicate the points on that isoquantd defined in part a and part b. What is the RTS along this isoquant? Explain why the RTS is the same at every point on the isoquant.
The production function for hamburgers can be written as q = 0.1X + 0.1Y, where X is Canadian ground beef and Y is U.S. beef, both measured in pounds. Which graph in the figure best represents the isoquants for the hamburger production when U.S. ground beef is on the vertical axis and Canadian ground beef is on the horizontal axis?
Suppose the production function is given by 0 = 2K - 5L What is the marginal product of labor when 15
units of capital and 10 units of labor are employed?
