Step-by-Step Solutions
Question 1
-
The Cobb-Douglas Production Function is typically written in a form something like,
.
Show that:
(show that the partial of a Cobb-Douglas Production function can be simplified in terms of P and the term the partial is in respect to)
Solution
Question 2
- Consider two products, A & B. The demand for goods A & B is a function of the price of both good A & B, and described by the following two quantity-demanded equations:
Now, find
.
Given your result, explain why A & B are either compliments, substitutes (competitive goods) or neither.
(given terms describing quantity demanded, find their cross partials (their cross-price elasticities) and determined and explain what type of goods they are)
Solution
Question 3
-
Find the partial derivative
of the implicit function,
Solution
Question 4
- For the following function,
Show that
(although by Young's Theorem we know this to be true, we are proving it with this functional form)
Solution
Question 5
-
Let
,
where;
Using the Chain Rule, find the partial derivative
.
And, for good measure, find the partial via the substitution method as well.
