2. A firm producing hockey sticks has a
production function given by:
𝑞 = 2 √𝑘𝑙
In the short run, the firm’s amount of capital equipment is
fixed at k = 100. The rental
rate for k is v=$1, and the wage rate for
l is w=$4.
(a) Calculate the firm’s short-run total cost curve. Calculate
the short-run average cost
curve. (5 marks)
(b) What is the firm’s short-run marginal cost function? What
are the SC, SAC, and SMC
for the firm if it produces 25, 50, 100 and 200 hockey sticks?
(5 marks)
(c) Where does the SMC curve intersect the SAC curve? Explain
why the SMC curve will
always intersect the SAC curve at its lowest point. (5
marks)
