b) Minimize cost
a. Write functions for: Fixed cost (FC), Variable cost (VC), AC, and MC
b. How many products should the company produce to maximize the profit, if the price on the

Question 04: If a firm has a budget of 2504$ what combination of K and L will maximize output
given the production function Q=130K0.3L0.18 and price for K and L of 22$ per unit and 13$ per
unit respectively?
Question 05: Find the profit-maximizing output for a firm with the total cost function:
TC = 4+97q-8.5q²+1/3q3
TR = 58q-0.5q²
P=100-4 √𝑞-3q
