Pearl’s Tattered Rags, the tent maker from our practice problems, has a production function of Q=4(KL)1/2 where K is production facilities and L is worker hours. What is the equation for her isoquant (putting K on the vertical axis) to produce 24 units in the long run?

Lucy makes a ham sandwich for lunch every day.  She insists on using exactly two slices of cheese and one slice of ham each day.  She has $20 per week to spend on these two things (assume all other sandwich items are free).  If cheese is $0.10 per slice and ham costs $0.20 per slice, how much of each will she consume each week?   Slices of Cheese = [cheese] Slices of Ham = [ham]

Graphically, the indifference curves for perfect substitutes are [drop1] and the indifference curves for perfect complements are [drop2]

For the demand curve P = 100-2Q, find the elasticity of demand at a price of 80.   Elasticity = 

If market demand is P = 100 – 0.6Q and supply is P = 20 + 0.4Q, solve for the market equilibrium.   Q = [quant] P = [price]

Groups of muscles are separated by thick connective tissue called:

Write T for true or F for false for the following statements. [1] 1. ATP causes the detachment of myosin from actin. [2] 2. T tubules conduct the action potential deep into the muscle. [3] 3. AChE attaches to the receptor to iniciate an action potential. [4] 4. Troponin is a regulatory protein. [5] 5. Sarcolemma stores and releases calcium into the muscle.

Of the various types of skeletal muscle fibers, the fibers that experience fatigue sooner are
