A production function expresses the relationship between inputs, such as capital (K) and labor (L), and output (Y). The following equation represents the functional form for a production function: q=f(K, L). If a production function exhibits constant returns to scale, this means that if you double the amount of capital and labor used, output is twice its original amount. Suppose the production function is as follows: f(K, L)=4K+9L. Prove that this production function exhibits constant returns to scale by completing the following algebraic equations. Assume that z is a positive number. f(zK, zL) = = = = zq Which of the following production functions exhibit constant returns to scale? Check all that apply. f(K, L)=3K0.4L0.2 f(K, L)=KL f(K, L)=7K0.4L0.6 Continue without saving

The cost of the beginning work in process inventory was comprised of $3,000 of direct materials, $10,000 of direct labor, and $10,000 of factory overhead. costs incurred during the period were comprised of $15,000 of direct materials costs, and $100,000 of conversion costs. the equivalent units of production (eup) for the period were 9,000 for direct materials and 6,000 for conversion. the costs per eup were:

Which of the following is likely not a benefit of requiring a grand jury to listen to and examine all of the evidence against a person suspected of committing a serious crime and then independently deciding whether or not to hand down an indictment? 1.the grand jury system provides the accused another safeguard against being sent to trial and facing conviction based on flawed evidence. 2.the members of the grand jury are drawn from the community and are empowered to render independent decisions about whether or not the government has collected enough evidence to bring an individual to trial. 3.the grand jury’s decision can provide prosecutors insight into what is necessary to build a sufficient case if a similar crime is presented later. 4.the grand jury is impaneled to rubber-stamp prosecutors’ cases, which makes it possible for more cases to reach trial.

You are bearish on telecom and decide to sell short 100 shares at the current market price of $50 per share. a. how much in cash or securities must you put into your brokerage account if the broker’s initial margin requirement is 50% of the value of the short position? b. how high can the price of the stock go before you get a margin call if the maintenance margin is 30% of the value of the short position? (input the amount as a positive value. round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
