the constraint that vL+rK=C. Note that maximizing a monotonically increasing function 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).
