Suppose a soap-manufacturing production process is described by the following
equation:
Y = a + b log K + с log L
Where,
Y= Output (number of soaps produced)
K=Capital
L=Labor
a, b and c are constants
Suppose 0<a<1, 0< b<1
a. Find the Marginal Product of Labor (MPL) and Marginal Product of Capital (MPK)
in the production of soap
b. Is MPL diminishing, increasing or constant as L increases?
c. Is MPK diminishing, increasing or constant as K increases?
