1. Show how output falls due to a reduction in labor. When labor falls from L to L* = 14 L, output falls from Q = L0.5K0.5 to Q* = (14 L)0.5K0.5 =

14 0.5L0.5K0.5 = 14 0.5Q = 12 Q. That is, when labor falls to one-fourth its original level, output falls less than in proportion to one-half its initial level.
