For a cost function C = 100 + 10Q + Q2, the marginal cost of producing 10 units of output is
  • None of the statements associated with this question are correct

If the production function is Q = K.5L.5 and capital is fixed at 1 unit, then the average product of labor when L = 25 is

  • 1/5

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 = 4, and MPK = 40 the firm:

  • Should use more K and less L to cost minimize

The production function for a competitive firm is Q = K.5L.5. The firm sells its output at a price of $10, and can hire labor at a wage of $5. Capital is fixed at 25 units. The profit-maximizing quantity of labor is
