Consider a profit-maximizing firm with the following production function: f(ï¨x1,x2) = ½x1x2.
The prices of the two inputs are equal to w1= 4 and w2= ½ 2, respectively
.a) What are the returns-to-scale properties of the firmâs production technology. Prove your answer.
.b) What input combination should the firm use to produce Q units of output?
.c) What is the firm's total cost of production as a function of the amount of output, Q?
.d) What is its marginal and average cost of production?
.e) Suppose the price of the first input falls to $2. What input combination should the firm use
now to produce Q units of output? What is its total, marginal, and average cost of production?
