Assignment

George produces computer software (user friendly). His firm's production function is Q = 1K + 2L, where Q is the programs, K is capital employed, and L is the labour used.

Part 1: Does the production function exhibit Constant, Increasing, or Decreasing returns to scale?
Part 2: If George uses only labour and want to produce Q = 10 ; he needs to use how many units of labour?
Part 3: If George uses only capital, and wants to produce Q = 30; he needs to use how many units of capital?
