Problem set 3 (Answer) 7.6. A farmer uses three inputs to produce vegetables: land‚ capital‚ and labor. The production function for the farm exhibits diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution. a) In the short run the amount of land is fixed. Suppose the prices of capital and labor both increase by 5 percent. What happens to the cost-minimizing quantities of labor and capital for a given output level? Remember that there are three inputs‚ one of which is fixed. b) Suppose only the cost

Travis Kellenberger AGEC 700 Problem Set #3 2) The demand curve for a product is given by Qdx = 1‚200-3Px- .01Pz‚ where Pz = $300. a) What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = $140? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? What would happen to the firm’s revenue if it decided to charge a price below $140? At the given prices‚ quantity demanded is 750 units: Qdx = 1‚200- (3 *140) -.1 (300) = 750. -140/750=-.56; demand is inelastic at this price point and you would be decreasing
