Abstract: Now as the items are perfect substitutes we can write the equation as f(x1‚ x2) = x1 + x2. Now this is Cobb-Douglas if the function has the form f(x1‚x2) = Ax^a1 x^b2‚ and provides us the utility function (Varian‚ 2010) and the graph shown in fig 3. For the production formula it would be Q=AK^ αL^β (Renshaw‚ 2009)as you can see both formulas are remarkably similar‚ as they both steam from the original theorem. So if we set A=10 and α= β=0.5‚ we get Q=10K^0.5L^0.5 now if we fix capital
