Assume the wage rate is w=$2, and the rental rate of capital is r=$7. The marginal product of labor is MPL=30, and the marginal product of capital is MPK=90. If the firm wishes to minimize its production costs, and continue to produce the same level of output, it should: a) increase capital, reduce labor b) increase labor, reduce capital c) do nothing d) increase both capital and labor

18.)A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market should stop employing additional units of a factor when a.)marginal revenue of the factor is maximized b.)price of the product is greater than the marginal cost of the factor c.)marginal cost of employing the factor is minimized d.)value of the marginal product of the factor equals the price of the factor e.)marginal product of the factor is maximized 19.)A firm in a competitive market will employ additional capital until its value of the...

Consider a competitive firm that produces bots. Labor (L) and capital (K) are the only two inputs of production; each unit of labor is paid the market wage (w), and each unit of capital is rented at the rental price of capital (r). Output (Y) is therefore a function of labor and capital, or Y = f (K, L), and is sold at the market price (P). The goal of this firm is to maximize profit given the price of...

Question 2. In this problem, we will consider how the rental price of capital Rt and the wage rate we are determined under the assumptions of the Solow growth model. Suppose there exists a representative firm in this economy with Cobb-Douglas production function given by Y = K L-, and that the price of its output P has been normalized to 1. a) Write out the firm's profit function. (Hint: think about what total revenues and total costs are if...

6. Suppose the hourly wage is $40, the price of each unit of capital is $50, and the price of output is $100 per unit. Assume that the firm cannot affect any of these prices. The production function of the firm is so that the marginal product of labor is MPE 2E a. If the current capital stock is fixed at 1,600 units, how many hours of labor should the firm hire in the short run (i.e., what should E...

20. The rate of product transformation refers to a. how a consumer can trade one good for another while still maximizing his or her utility. b. how a firm can substitute one input for another and still maintain the same production level. c. how production of one good can be substituted for another while still using a fixed supply of inputs efficiently. d. how quickly a firm can produce a final...
