Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

MPL = 1/2 K1/2L-1/2
MPK = 1/2 K-1/2L1/2
Optimization requires:
MPL/w = MPK/r
This results in K=L, which is the equation of the expansion path.
TC = 8,000 = 2L + 2K
Substitute the expansion path relationship to yield:
K = L = 2000
Then Q = K1/2L1/2 = 2000.
