Suppose that we are in there long-run and a firm is choosing K and L to cost minimize. Suppose that as in tutorial: Q=(LK)0.5. (or also written as Q=(LK)0.5) This implies a Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS) that is given by: MRTS =K/L As in lecture and tutorial and the above question, assume that labour is on the x-axis. Suppose also that the price of labour is equal to $12, the price of capital is equal to $17. The firm receives an order for 201 units of output, and wants to find a way to minimize its costs of producing this output. How much capital will the firm need to use if it wants to fulfill this order and is cost minimizing? Note: round your answers to two decimal places
