She can rent as much sewing machine as she wants at a cost of $2.5 per unit. Her production function is y=5L1/2M1/2, where L is the amount of labor and M is the amount of machine. a. Write the equation for MRTS is:
MRTS=M/L 2M/L M1/2/L1/2 M/2L
(Hint: MPL=2.5L-1/2M1/2, MPM=2.5L1/2M-1/2
b. Find out Roberta’s demand for L and M, which can produce 100 dresses in the cheapest possible way.
