For annual output Q, where Q=500L0.6K0.8 where L is labor measured in hours and K is capital measured in machine hours.
The marginal products areMPL=300L-0.4K0.8 andMPK=400L0.6K-0.2.
Wage=$15 per hour and capital = $50 per hour.
a) How much capital and labor should the firm employ given the $500,000 budget? Calculate the output.
b) If wage rises to $22.50, find the new optimal capital-labor ratio. Should the company increase or decrease the labor input under the new situation?
