Document Summary
Multiple choice: which of the following is a correct definition? a. L,k = 10 kb/lb = 10: you are given the following information about two points a and b that lie on the same isoquant: = 2kl with mpl = 2k and mpk = 2l. Is this technological change: neutral, labor saving, capital saving, it takes three packages of cement mix, one bucket of water and a shovel-full of sand to mix a wheelbarrow-full of cement to patch a wall. If these proportions are not respected, the mixture is useless. Short answers: consider the production function q = k1/3l2/3, where q is output, l is labor and k is capital. The marginal products of capital and labor are mpk = 1/3k-2/3l2/3 and mpl = At what value of l does the total product of labor reach a maximum: a production function has the following total product of labor (q), marginal product of labor (mpl) and average product of labor (apl).
