Question: 1 . Let y = f ( x 1 ; x 2 ) = f ( x ) be a production function, the price of

1. Let y = f (x1; x2)= f (x) be a production function, the price of y is p; and
the factor prices are given by wi for input xi for i =1; 2: Assume the production
function is either decreasing or constant returns to scale.
a. Write down the long-run prot maximization problem.
b. Now, write down the Short run prot maximization problem assuming
factor 1 is xed in the short-run at a strictly positive amount.
c. Compute the envelope theorem for the short-run prot in the xed factor
(factor 1).
d. Now, maximize the Short run prot choosing the xed factor, and give
the FOC. Explain now the relationship between your answer in (a) and this
answer answer.
