What is the derivative of (12Q/K^0/5)+8K

A pharmaceutical company uses labor (L) and capital (K) to produce nasal sprays for hay fever. Its production function is 𝑄= 2LK^1/2The reward for labor is 24€ per hour and the reward for capital is 8€ per hour. c) (3 pts.) Determine the long‐run cost function for this company. Then, use this cost function to show that the production of this company features increasing returns to scale. So dont use the production function but use the long run cost function that you calculate to see if there are increasing scales to return

The government wants to reduce the use of polluting inputs in the production of stained‐glass windows. The production of stained glass windows is done with inputs X and Y according to the production function 𝑞 ൌ 10𝑋଴,ହ𝑌଴,ହ. The price of X is px and that for Y is py. Assume that input Y is the polluting input and that the government introduces a tax 𝑡 ൐ 0 such that the price for Y increases to 𝑝௬ ௔௙௧௘௥ ௧௔௫ ൌ ሺ1 ൅ 𝑡ሻ𝑝௬. The producer can vary the amount of Y in the long run only; in the short run the use of input Y is fixed at an amount of 𝑌ത. Before the introduction of the tax the producer produced an amount of 𝑞଴. d) Use graphical analysis to show the impact of the tax on the total costs for the producer to produce 𝑞0 on the short run and on the long run. Explain your answer and graph clearly.

Hoe zou je het politieke geweld van Hezbollah aan de hand van de conceptualisering van Duyvesteyn en Fumerton (2010) categoriseren? Als een terroristische strategie, een strategie van opstand of verzet (insurgency), een tactiek van terrorisme binnen een insurgency strategie? Zie je hier verschillen tussen Hezbollah’s strategieën in de jaren tachtig, de jaren negentig en het huidige tijdvak?

Welk van de vijf doelen die Kydd and Walter (2006: 52) onderscheiden voor organisaties die terrorisme gebruiken denk je dat Hezbollah nastreeft met haar politieke geweld? Zie je hier verschillen tussen Hezbollah’s doelen in de jaren tachtig, de jaren negentig en het huidige tijdvak?
