5. Suppose the hourly wage is $10 and the price of each unit of capital is $25. The price of output is constant at $50 per unit. The production function is f(E,K) = E½K ½, so that the marginal product of labor is MPE = (½)(K/E) ½ . If the current capital stock is fixed at 1,600 units, how much labor should the firm employ in the short run? How much profit will the firm earn?

Short-run factor demand

A price-taking firm (p = 100) chooses an amount of labor to employ that maximizes its profits. It has a fixed amount of capital (K= 100), and constant returns to scale CobbDouglass production function: q(L, K) = L ^(1/2) K ^(1/2). The wage rate and rental rate of capital are 10 (w = r = 10).

(a) Set up the profit function.

(b) Solve for the optimal level of labor IN THE SHORT RUN.

(c) With additional capital, would the optimal level of labor increase or decrease?

A price taking firm chooses its inputs to maximize short-run profits. Its Cobb-Douglass production function has the following form: q(L, K) = L^(1/2) K ^(1/3) . The output price is 1,000 per unit and the cost of each unit of input is 10. In the short-run, capital is fixed at 27 units.

(a) Set up the profit function in terms of labor only.

(b) Find the optimal choice of labor, L ∗ .

(c) Given your answer to part (b), do you think that there is excess capital compared to the optimal level of quantity?

Another price taking firm chooses its inputs to maximize long-run profits. Labor and capital are substitutes in production and both exhibit decreasing returns to scale, q(L, K) = L^(1/2) + K^(1/2) . The output price is 100 and the price of each of the inputs is 10.

(a) Set up the firm’s profit function and provide the two conditions for profit maximization.

(b) Find the profit maximizing levels of capital and labor.

(c) How does a change in labor change the optimal choice of capital?

A firm produces according to the following production function: Q = K^.5L^.5 where Q = units of output, K = units of capital, and L = units of labor. Suppose that in the short run K = 100. Moreover, the wage of labor is W = 5 and the price of the product is P = 10. What are the optimal units of labor?
