(30 total points) suppose a firm’s production function is given by q = l1/2*k1/2. the marginal product of labor and the marginal product of capital are given by: mpl = 1/ 2 1/ 2 2l k , and mpk = 1/ 2 1/ 2 2k l . a) (12 points) if the price of labor is w = 48, and the price of capital is r = 12, how much labor and capital should the firm hire in order to minimize the cost of production if the firm wants to produce output q = 18?

White truffles are a very prized and rare edible fungus that grow naturally in the countryside near alba, italy. suppose that it costs $200 per day to search for white truffles. on an average day, the total number of white truffles (t) found in alba is t = 20x − x 2 , where x is the number of people searching for white truffles on that day. white truffles can be sold for $100 each. if there is no regulation, how many more people will be searching for white truffles than the socially optimal number?
