11. A firm selling in a perfectly competitive market where the ruling price is 40 birr can buy inputs K and L at
prices per unit of 20 birr and 6 Birr respectively and operates with production function
0.4 0.2
Q = 21 K L , what is the maximum profit?
12. Suppose the prices of inputs K and L are 12 birr and 3 birr per unit respectively and the production
function of the firm is Q= 25K 0.5 L 0.5 . Determine the minimum costs of producing 1,250 units of output
using Lagrange multiplier method
13. Suppose a consumer has a utility function of U = 40x0.5 y0.5 .If the price of x is 20 birr per unit, price of
y is 5 birr unit and the consumer has a budget of 600 birr . Determine the amount of x and y which
maximize utility using the Lagrange multiplier method.
