Suppose a Cobb-Douglas Production function is given by the following: P(L, K) = 20L0.5 K0.5 where L is units of labor, K is units of capital, and P(L, K) is total units that can be produced with this labor/capital combination. Suppose each unit of labor costs $400 and each unit of capital costs $3,200. Further suppose a total of $192,000 is available to be invested in labor and capital (combined). A) How many units of labor and capital should be "purchased" to maximize production subject to your budgetary constraint? Units of labor, L = Units of capital, K- B) What is the maximum number of units of production under the given budgetary conditions? (Round your answer to the nearest whole unit.) Max production units

So I'm just making sure I had the work done correctly I know the unit has to be in kPa but I wasn't sure if it would be just 20kPa or if it would be 20,000kPa
The average cost per item to produce q items is given by a(q) = 0.01q² - 0.6q+17, for q>0. What is the total cost, C(q), of producing a goods? C(q) = What is the minimum marginal cost? minimum MC = (Be sure you can say what the practical interpretation of this result is!) At what production level is the average cost a minimum? q= What is the lowest average cost? minimum average cost = Compute the marginal cost at q = 30. MC(30) = How does this relate to your previous answer? Explain this relationship both analytically and in words.
SECTION B Candidates should answer ONE question from this section 1. Suppose that the aggregate production function in Country A is as follows: Y = AK0.3 L0.7, where output (Y) is produced using capital (K) and labour (L), and A is total factor productivity. The rate of growth of population (n) in country A is 0.8% per year (n=0.008). We will assume that the rate of depreciation of capital is 15% per period (0.15). Total factor productivity equals 20 (A=20) and its growth rate is zero. a) Show formally that the production displays diminishing returns to both capital and labour. (10%) b) Given that country A's savings rate (s) is 10% (0.100), find its steady state capital stock per capita, income per capita, consumption per capita, and investment per capita. (45%) c) What is the Golden Rule level of capital per worker in this economy? Is the economy dynamically efficient (35%) d) Now assume that total factor productivity (A) grows at a rate of 1% per year. What is the steady state level…
When a electrical appliances whose power usage is X watts is run for Y seconds it uses X×Y joules of energy. The energy unit used by electrical utilities in their monthly bills is the kilowatt-hour (kwh, that is, 1 kilowatts used for 1 hour) how many joules are there in a kilowatt hour? If electricity cost per $0.09 per kilowatt hour, how much does it cost per megajoule?
A quantitative measure of wine quality (y) was modeled as a function of several qualitative independent variables, including grape-picking method (manual or auto- mated) and soil type (clay, grave, or sand). Write an interaction model relating wine quality to the two qualitative independent variables. Let ”automated” and ”sand” represent the base levels for the two variables, respectively.
Marc purchased 100 shares of LXM stock for $25 per share and sold thissame stock two years later for $28 per share. He paid commissions of $50when he purchased the stock and $55 when he sold the stock. Nodividends were paid during the period he owned LXM. What is Marc'scurrent income from this investment? What is his capital gains?

A retailer buys Dalmatian stuffies for $6 each. (Assume that the retailer has no other variable costs). The retailer can only charge by the dollar so no need to consider cents -- e.g., $3 is a price you could choose, $3.11 or $2.99 are not. The potential customers have the following WTP.
