Batteries are one of the major imports of the US from China. Batteries cost 10 Yuan in China. a) If the exchange rate is 7 Yuan/$, how much does the battery cost in the US? b) If the Dollar appreciates to 8 Yuan/$, how much does the battery cost in the US now? Assume that the price of the battery does not change. c) What happens to the import of batteries from China? What happens to the NX of the...

Bob produces chairs, using as inputs labor (L) and machines (K). The production function is given: Q = 10√K + √L MPK = 5 / √K MPL = 1 / 2√L A. What type of returns to scale (increasing, decreasing, constant) does Bob's production function exhibit? Explain. B. Assuming the wage = 1, and r = 200. Derive Bob's long run total cost function.

just answer e,f,g,h,i,j.
(a) (3 points) To begin, assume that a firm is producing using q = h(K, L) = K(1/3) L (1/3). Suppose the firm currently owns 128 machines, the price of the good is P = $96, the rental rate of capital is r = $4, and the wage rate is w = $16. What level of Labour would be hired? How much would be produced? Would the firm make a profit or a loss? Suppose there are...

Consider a US firm that imports components from China, and adds value by assembling these components into a finished product in the US. Assume that the US firm always pays in RMB (Chinese Remnibi) for the components. Suppose the cost of imported components is RMB 25, while domestic assembly costs to finish the product are $5, and the current exchange rate is RMB5/$. 1) Case A: If the US firm was selling 100% of the finished product output in the...

Question 2: Consider a ski resort which uses capital K (mountains, ski lifts, lodges, etc.) and labor L (ski instructors, rental shop employees, kitchen staff, etc.) to accomodate q skiers per day according to the production function q= f(L,K) = (Kº + LP) where 0 <p<1. (1) Given the ski resort wants to accomodate q skiers at the minimum possible cost, solve for L*(q) and K*(q) in terms of wages w, price of capital r, and the number p. (2)...

1. Suppose cars are produced using workers and machines as perfect complements. The production func- tion for producing cars is: F(K, L) = min(2K,5L) (a) Setup the short run cost minimization problem when K = 10. (2 points) (b) Solve for the short run optimal amount of labor Lsr() and short run minimized cost Csr(w,r,q). Circle your answer.

Lulu currently hires 4 workers and rents 9 machines to produce
12 leggings. Is Lulu minimizing her costs? How do you know?
Lulu owns a firm that produces leggings. The production function is given by Q = 2VKVL, so that MPL VK VI and MPk = VL Q is Lulu's VK output, K is capital, L is labor, and MP is the marginal product. The wage (w)rate per worker (L) is $40 per day and rental rate (r) per unit...

2. To produce 18 units of output a firm can hire either 9 workers or 3 machines. a. Let L denote workers and K denote machines. Write down a production function that represents this firm's production technology. (2 points) b. Let w denote the wage rate and r denote the rental rate of capital. Suppose wir = 0.4. Derive the firm's long run factor demand functions for labor and capital and the firm's long run cost function. (4 points) C....
