Consider the optimization problem of maximizing Cobb–Douglas production function: Q = 20 K1/2 L1/2, subject to cost constraint: K + 4L = 64.
a/ Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum value of the production function;
b/ Estimate the change in the optimal value of Q if the cost constraint is changed to K + 4L = 65, and state the new maximum value of the production function.
