Exercise 1 Question B3 (2010) function: A firm faces the following production The firm is perfectly competitive and hires its machines at a constant rental rate of r = 5 euros per hour and its workers at a constant wage rate of w 4 euros per hour. It can also sell as much output as it wishes at the ruling market price of P 40 euros. 1 Find the most profitable output, the profits at this output, and the corre-...

4. Suppose that in the short run a firm has a production function relating workers to output per hour: Q = 10L Where L is hours of labor. Suppose also that the firm sells its product in a perfectly competitive output market, at a price of $8 per unit produced a. Suppose that the firm is a monopsonist in the labor market, facing a labor supply curve that can be written as: L = 2W (for W = wage per...

1. Consider a firm which produces according to the following production function by using labor and capital: f(1,k) = klid (e) Suppose the wage rate of labor is 2 TL, the rental rate of capital is 2 TL and fixed capital input, k, is 2 units. What amount of output minimizes short-run average cost? What is the minimum possible short-run average cost? (f) Find short-run firm supply as a function of input prices, w and v, and output price, p....

4. Cosider a firm that produces a certain good. The demand is uncertain. There is 50% chance the demand is high, and 50% chance the demand is low. When the demand is high, its demand for labor is w 12-0.5L. When the demand is low, its demand for labor is w 8-0.5L. Here w is wage for each worker and L is the total number of workers it hires. When the demand is high, the profit of the firm can...

7. A firm has the production function Q=LK. The firm initially faces input prices w = $1 and r = $1 and is required to produce Q=100 units. Later the price of labor w goes up to $4. Find the optimal input combinations for each set of prices and use these to calculate the firm's price elasticity of demand for labor over this range of prices.

Consider a firm with a production function given by Q = 40N − 0.125N^2 . This implies that the marginal product of labour is MPN = 40 − 0.25N. Suppose that the market price for the good that the firm produces is P = 1, and the market wage is w = 5. (a) How many workers will the firm choose to hire? b) Compute the firm’s profits given the optimal choice of employment c) At what wage level would...

1. A firm operates in the long run. Its long-run production function is given as: Q = LK, where Qis units of output, Lis units of labor, and K is units of capital. (a) Obtain six integer combinations of Land K when Q = 12. (b) Obtain six integer combinations of Land K when Q = 18. (c) Use the twelve integer combinations of Land K obtained in parts (a) and (b) to construct two isoquants on a two-dimensional plane....
