Example of a cobb-douglas production function


Problem: Suppose a firm assumes the following production function:

Log Q=2 + .8 log K + .1 log L

1) Currently, the firm hires 10,000 workers and employs 50 units of capital. The "wage" of capital and labor are $500 and $800 respectively, what would you suggest would be the firm's mix of labor and capital if it produces 2,000,000 units?

2) Is this an example of a Cobb-Douglas Production function?

3) Would you suggest this firm merge with similar firms? Explain.
