1. Suppose a firm is producing a product using the production function F(K, L) = 24L1/3K1/4, where each worker s paid $16 and each unit of capital costs $12. The firm has hired you to act as their consultant. Calculate the lowest total cost value ($) to produce 120 units of output in the LR using the Lagrange function. lowest total cost to produce 1zo units 2 = W. L Fr. K- > ( 24- 1 1/3 . Kin-q.)
