This question has you determine the effect of a tax on labor on the long-run cost function. Consider a firm with the production function f(L,K) = LK. The wage rate and rental rate on capital are w and r, respectively. a

Using the Lagrangian, derive the long-run cost function for this firm. b. Suppose the government taxes labor at by an amount t per unit of labor. Rewrite the long-run cost function including the tax. Hint: the effective wage rate is now w + t. c. Compute the marginal effect of the tax on the long-run cost function. To do so, compute the partial derivative of the cost function with respect to t. Does an increase in the tax increase the cost linearly?
