A. 3

Which of the following cost functions exhibits economies of scope when three (3) units of good one and two (2) units of good two are produced? A. C = 50 − 5Q1Q2 + 0.5Q12 + Q22. B. C = 10 + 4Q1Q2 + Q12 + Q22. C. C = 15 + 5Q1Q2 + 2Q1 + 4Q2. D. C = 5 + Q1Q2 + Q12Q22.

A. C = 50 − 5Q1Q2 + 0.5Q12 + Q22.

Which of the following sets of economic data is minimizing the cost of producing a given level of output? A. MPL = 20, MPK = 40, w = $16, r = $32. B. MPL = 20, MPK = 40, w = $32, r = $16. C. MPL = 40, MPK = 20, w = $16, r = $32. D. MPL = 40, MPK = 40, w = $16, r = $32.

A. MPL = 20, MPK = 40, w = $16, r = $32.

You are an efficiency expert hired by a manufacturing firm that uses K and L as inputs. The firm produces and sells a given output. If w = $40, r = $100, MPL = 20, and MPK = 40 the firm: A. is cost minimizing. B. should use less L and more K to cost minimize. C. should use more L and less K to cost minimize. D. is profit maximizing but not cost minimizing.

C. should use more L and less K to cost minimize.
