Use the production function: q = 4l1/2k1/2. refer to scenario 3. suppose that the price of labor is $5 and the price of capital is $20. your firm desires to produce 200 units of output. how much labor will be hired to minimize the costs of producing 200 units of output?

100 labor will be hired to minimize the costs of producing 200 units of output.

Explanation:

Maximising profit

Profit (Pr) = P*Q - Cost

                = P*Q - 5L - 20K

                 = P*4(LK)^0.5 - 4L - 20K

       dPr/dL= P*2(K/L)^0.5 - 4 = 0

       dPr/dK = P*2(L/K)^0.5 - 20 =0

We know equilibrium condition

MPL/MPK = w/ r

                 = 5/20

                  = 0.25  

MPL = 2(K/L)^0.5  MPK = 2(L/K)^0.5

K/L = 0.25

K = 0.25L

200 = 4(0.25L^2)^0.5

       =4*0.5*L

L = 100

Therefore, 100 labor will be hired to minimize the costs of producing 200 units of output.

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
