A firm’s production function uses two inputs, labor and capital, and can be written as Q = 5LK, where Q represents output per day (in tons). The unit costs of inputs are $150 for labor (L) and $1,000 for capital (K). For this production function, the marginal product of capital (MPK) is 5L, and the marginal product of labor (MPL) is 5K. Determine the combination of L and K that minimizes the cost of producing 30,000 tons of output per day. Also determine the total cost of producing 1,000 tons per day. Leave the field below blank.

Consider a perfectly competitive industry in long-run equilibrium. Suppose demand for the product increases. Trace through the impact on both the industry and an individual firm in the short-run and the long run. Be sure to illustrate your answer using both a supply-and-demand diagram for the entire industry and a set of cost curves for an individual firm in the industry.

The figure below depicts average total cost functions for a firm that produces automobiles. The curves ATCA, ATCB, ATCC, and ATCD represent short run average total cost curves associated with different levels of capital. The lower envelope of those curves represents the firm’s long-run average total cost curve. The firm experiences increasing returns to scale at which output levels?
