Given a​ Cobb-Douglas production function where α​= β ​= 0.5:

Q= (K^0.5) x (L^0.5)

Required:
Find the equation for the isoquant when Q​ = 2,000.

Respuesta :

Answer:

MRTS=-400

Explanation:

This equation basically says that the output that this firm produces is a function of Labor and Capital, where each isoquant represents a fixed output produced with different combinations of inputs

The equation for the isoquant when Q​ = 2,000 can be found as follows

Q=(K^{0.5})*(L^{0.5})

where Q = 2000

2000=(K^{0.5})*(L^{0.5})

(K^{0.5})=[tex]\frac{2000}{(L^{0.5})}[/tex]

K=[tex]\left (\frac{2000}{(L^{0.5})} \right )^{2}[/tex]

MRTS=[tex]-\left ( \frac{\frac{0.5*2000}{100}}{\frac{0.5*2000}{40000}} \right )[/tex]

where

K=[tex]\left (\frac{2000}{(L^{0.5})} \right )^{2}[/tex]

K=[tex]\left (\frac{2000}{(100^{0.5})} \right )^{2}[/tex]

K=[tex]\left (\frac{2000}{(10)} \right )^{2}[/tex]

K=200^{2}

K=40000

MRTS=-400
