A firm has the following production function:

Q = K^0.8L^0.1

1. Show if this is a constant, decreasing, or increasing returns to scale production function? Explain.
2. Find the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) and discuss how MRTS changes as the firm uses more L, holding output constant.
3. Suppose that the wage rate is $10 per hour and the rental rate of capital is $10 per hour. If the firm wants to produce 500 units of output, what is the cost-minimizing bundle of capital and labor?

As you look back on the course, consider how marketing affects your daily life and how your understanding of marketing has changed. To illustrate some of the marketing components that you have learned, identify a specific product that could benefit from a new marketing strategy. Describe this product and explain how you could use the information from this course to recommend changes. Make sure to include what research strategies you would recommend the company use to inform the new strategies.

Think of a toy model of a dimeric receptor binding with a divalent ligand. The K_Ds for binding between a two-armed compound LL1 (this is the ligand) and individual receptors R1 and R2 are:

R1 … 7.9 nM             R2 … 50.1 nM

Now think of a protein R1-R2, which is a protein comprised of both R1 and R2. At a temperature 300K, if there is no loss of energy/entropy to induce conformational changes of the protein and ligand during the binding, what is the expected K_D between LL1 and R1-R2 and corresponding deltaG?
