Question: Company A builds and sells widgets. It uses two inputs, labor (L) and capital (K). The production function for widgets, W, is given by

W = 5L 1/2 K.

  1. Complete the following table showing the amount of W produced with each combination of inputs.
    K=0 K=1 K=2 K=3 K=4 K = 5
    L = 0
    L = 1
    L = 2
    L = 3
    L = 4
    L = 5
  2. Does the production function for widgets exhibit decreasing, increasing, or constant returns to scale? Explain your answer.
  3. Are the marginal products of K and L increasing, decreasing, or constant? Explain.
  4. Assume the price of labor is $50 and the price of capital is $100, what are the short run total, average, and marginal cost curves assuming capital is fixed at 2 units?
