Does this firms production process exhibit cost


Consider a firm that produces two products. The firm's cost function is:

C(Q1, Q)-QQ2 +4Q2+ 2Q22, Where Qis the output of the first product, and Qoutput of the second product

a) Assume the firm produces the products separately. Calculate the total cost of producing: Q1 = 10 and Q2 = 5.

b) Now assume the firm produces both products together. Calculate the total cost of producing: Q1 = 10 and Q2 = 5.

c) Does this firm exhibit economies of scope? How do you know?

d) The marginal cost of producing Q1 is: MC1 =  -Q2 + 4Q1, while the marginal cost of producing Q2 is: MC2 = -Q1 + 6Q2. Does this firm's production process exhibit cost complementarities? How do you know?
