Part a) The Cob Douglas production function is given as:
To show that this function is homogeneous with degree 3, we introduce be a parameter, t.
Using properties of exponents, we on tinder:
This implies that:
Simplify the exponent of t to get;
Hence the function is homogeneous with degree, 3
Part b) To verify Euler's Theorem, we must show that:
Verifying from the left:
Q•E•D
Answer:
Orange Co.'s budget will include the cost of production, which is made up of raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. The above cost of production and the accompanying items will not be found in the budget of Pineapple Company. The latter's budget will focus on purchase of goods for sale (instead of raw materials) and inventories of finished goods (instead of raw materials and work in process). Orange Co. determines its product cost per unit from the cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Pineapple Company's product cost is based on the purchase price of goods, which includes the manufacturer's profit.
Explanation:
The operations and accounting for the cost of production of Orange Co. will be different from Pineapple Company's. The difference is a reflection of their statuses as manufacturer and merchandiser respectively. Orange Co. manufactures and sells goods while Pineapple Company sell manufactured goods.
Answer:
=2.98%
Explanation:
Use CAPM to find the required return of the stock;
CAPM: r = risk free + beta(market return - risk free)
risk free = 4.5% or 0.045 as a decimal
beta = -0.4
market return = 8.3% or 0.083 as a decimal
Next, plug in the numbers into the CAPM formula;
r = 0.045 -0.4(0.083 - 0.045)
r = 0.045 -0.0152
r = 0.0298 or 2.98%
Therefore the required return is 2.98%

Answer:
<em>B. demand for Apple computers decreases.</em>
Explanation:
If two things are substitute of each and other, that generally in simple words means either this or this. As we can see in the statements that has been provided in the question that Dell and Apple computers are substitute of each other, <em>so if the amount from Dell computer decreases then the demand of the computers made by Apple company will absolutely decrease. </em>
Because two devices which carries almost same qualities and features are also substitute of each other, i<em>f price of one device from the both substitutes will decrease, everyone will rush to buy the device with low price and the device with high price will get less popular among the consumers.</em> So, this is the reason which says OPTION(B) is the correct answer.
