2.- The production of Klinchis requires the use of labor, L, sugar, S, and minipliffs, M (a type of specialized metallic device about which Google has never heard, so don't try to google it), as summarized by the production function of (,,)=1/3 2/3(2).

a) Is this technology characterized by increasing, constant, or decreasing returns to scale?

b) Suppose you have decided to use 100 hours of labor and 100 minipliffs, and you want to produce 800 Klinchis. How much sugar do you need to buy?

c) Now suppose that you are considering to increase the use of minipliffs (a little) to free some labor time. If you still want to produce 800 Klinchis, what would be the reduction in labor that you can achieve per unit you increase the use of minipliffs?
