of a variable is equivalent to maximizing the variable itself. Therefore ln(Q)=(2/3)ln(L)+(1/3)ln(K)‚ a more convenient expression‚ is the same as maximizing Q. Therefore the objective function for the optimization problem is ln(Q)=(2/3)ln(L)+(1/3)ln(K). Step 1: Form the Langrangian function by subtracting from the objective function a multiple of the difference between the cost of the resources and the budget allowed for resources; i.e.‚ G= ln(Q) - λ(wL+rK-C) G= (2/3)ln(L) + (1/3)ln(K) - λ(wL+rK-C)
