What is the lowest cost of producing 10 units of output?Problem 5 Suppose that a firm has a production function f(K, L) = 12L¹/3 K¹/3 and that w and r are input prices and p is output price. The firm does not change those prices. a) Show that the firm's profit π is a concave function of (K, L). b) Find (K*, L*) that maximizes the profit, as a function of (w,r, p).X and X2 are the two factors used in production A firm's production function: fcx₁, x₂) = max {x₁, X₂} the price of X, is W₁=8, and the price of X₂ is W₂=10 The firm paproduce 100 total units of output, what is the total cost?
- 1 A smartphone repair firm in Boston has a production function for producing phone repairs, q, defined as, — 4 -L1/2K 1/2, where L is labor measured in hours worked, and K is the number of useful tools used in the repair process.

- E Let the demand function for a product be given by the function D(q) = -1.65g + 270, where q is the quantity of items in demand and D(q) is the price per item, in dollars, that can be charged when q units are sold. Suppose fixed costs of production for this item are $4, 000 and variable costs are $3 per item produced. If 96 items are produced and sold, find the following: A) The total revenue from selling 96 items (to the nearest penny). Answer: $ B) The total costs to produce 96 items (to the nearest penny).
