Please read this abstract from a clinical trial:  Randomised phase-II trial of CAPIRI (capecitabine, irinotecan) plus bevacizumab vs FOLFIRI (folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan) plus bevacizumab as first-line treatment of patients with unresectable/metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) Background: To compare the efficacy and safety of CAPIRI+bevacizumab (Bev) in comparison with FOLFIRI+Bev as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods: Patients were randomised to receive either FOLFIRI plus Bev 5 mg/kg every 2 weeks (Arm-A) or CAPIRI plus Bev 7.5 mg/kg every 3 weeks (Arm-B). Results: Three hundred thirty-three patients (Arm-A=167; Arm-B=166) were enrolled into the study. No difference was observed in median progression-free survival (PFS) (10.0 and 8.9 months; P=0.64), overall survival (25.7 and 27.5 months; P=0.55) or response rates (45.5 and 39.7%; P=0.32) for FOLFIRI-Bev and CAPIRI-Bev, respectively. Patients treated with CAPIRI-Bev presented significantly higher incidence of diarrhoea (P=0.005), febrile neutropenia (P=0.003) and hand-foot skin reactions (P=0.02) compared with patients treated with FOLFIRI-Bev. Treatment delays (P=0.05), dose reduction (P

A firm discovers that when it uses K units of capital and L units of labor it is able to produce q=K3/4L1/4 units of output. Assume w=4 and r=1.    (a) Does the production function (q=K3/4L1/4) exhibit constant, increasing or decreasing returns to scale and why? (3pts)   (b) The firm currently operates with KSR=5 units of capital and wants to produce qSR=100 units of output. How much labor does the firm need to hire and what is the total cost of producing the 100 units? (10 pts)   (c) What inputs would the firm use in the long run? What would the cost be? (16 pts)
