Find out the maximum possible output for a firm with zero units of L and 10 units of K when its production function is Q = 5L = 2K.
(a) Q = 2L2 K2 ............... (1)
L = 5 units of labour
K = 2 units of capital
Putting these values in equation (1)
Q = 2(5)2 (2)2
=2 (25) (4)
= 2 (25) (4)
Q = 200 units
(b) If L = 0 units and K = 100 units
Putting these values in equation (1)
Q = 2(0)2 (100)2
Q = 0 units
What is the total product of input?
Let the production function of a firm be Q=5L1/2K1/2Q=5L1/2K1/2 Find out the maximum possible output that the firm can produce with 100 units of LL and 100 units of KK.

When do we say that there is an excess demand for a commodity in the market?
What do you mean by the production possibilities of an economy?
How are the total revenue of a firm, market price, and the quantity sold by the firm related to each other?
What is budget line?
Suppose the price elasticity of demand for a good is – 0.2. How will the expenditure on the good be affected if there is a 10 % increase in the price of the good?
Consider the demand curve D (p) = 10 – 3p. What is the elasticity at price 53?
Explain why the budget line is downward sloping.
