Firm X’s production function is Y = 2 (min(L,K)0.5)
price of labor (L) = w, price of capital (K) = r. Both are positive. What is the optimal supply of output as a funciton of wages and rental price of capital.
Expert Answer
So the function has 2 points of inflection
So if w
Y = 2*( r* 0.5 ) = r
So optimal is when r = w
So Y=w=r

So we see the red graph is Y, hence the optimal is at r=w
