Answer:

L = 0

K = 535.36

Q = 99,577 units

Explanation:

Q = 118L + 186K  

Budget line: C = L.PL + K.PK

5,889 = 16L + 11K

This is a linear production function, indicating labor and capital are perfect substitutes. Optimal bundle lies on one of the corner points on isoquant.

From budget line,

When L = 0, K = 5,889/11 = 535.36  

Q = 118*0 + 186*535.36 = 0 + 99,576. 96 = 99,577 units

When K = 0, L = 5,889 / 16 = 368.06

Q = 118*368.06 + 11*0 = 45,555.08 + 0 = 45,555 units

So, output is maximized when L = 0 and K = 535.36, since Q = 99,577 units (optimal labor).

Hope this helps!

Sati [7]

A monopolist will hire workers up to the point at which the wage equals to marginal revenue.

Given that monopolist will need to hire workers.

We are required to find the point up to which the monopolist will hire the workers.

Monopolist is the person or institution who has the largest power of the market means monopolist can change or influence the price according to him or his requirements.

From the definition of monopoly we can say that a monopolist will hire workers up to the point at which the wage equals the marginal revenue.

Wage is a part of cost and it is a variable cost. Variable cost is the cost which is not fixed for all the units. Variable cost increases with the increase in the units of the good.

Hence a monopolist will hire workers up to the point at which the wage equals to marginal revenue.
