Assume that the production of lollipops is one of fixed


Assume that the production of lollipops is one of fixed proportions. To produce one case of lollipops, it takes 0.5 person-hours and 1 machine-hour. Assume that the hourly wage rate is $9, and the hourly rental rate is $25. a. (9 pts) Draw the expansion path for this production, including the isoquants q = 15 and q = 30, the cost minimizing combinations of L and K ((L*, K*) & (L**,K**)), and the associated isocost lines. b. (4 pts) In a new graph, sketch the LR total cost curve, including the total cost for q = 15 and q = 30. Is the LR TC curve linear, convex, or concave? (Hint: think about returns to scale.) c. (3 pts) In a new graph, draw the MC curve.
