Suppose that the necessary labor time to produce a unit of labor power for one day for a given society is 5 hours; further suppose that 5 hours of laboring produces a value of $10. Please answer the following question.
How much total value is produced in a ten-hour day?
Group of answer choices
$50
$100
$10
$20
Option (D).
Total value produced per day = (10 hours per day / 5 hours per day) x Value per 5 hours
= 2 x $10
= $20

1. Suppose country A can produce 30 units of Corn per time period (if it specializes in Corn). Country A can produce 4 outfits per time period (if it specializes in outfits). If country B specializes in Corn, it can produce 40 units per time period. If country B specialized in Outfits, it can produce 3 outfits per time period. A has a comparative advantage in Corn. B has a comparative advantage in Outfits. neither country has a comparative advantage....
Suppose (for simplicity) that the U.S. economy uses one resource
– labor – to produce two goods: soybeans and health
care. The U.S. has 100 million workers at
first. Each worker can produce either 10 bushels of
soybeans or 2 units of health care each day.
On the graph below, draw the nation’s production
possibilities frontier
Suppose the U.S. produces a total of 800 million bushels
of soybeans per day.
If the U.S. produces 800 million bushels of soybeans, how many

A firm uses 100 hours of labor and 20 units of capital to produce 5,000 bicycles a day. Labor’s marginal product is 4 bicycles per day and the marginal product of capital is 10 bicycles per day. Each unit of labor costs $20 and each unit of capital costs $40 per hour. If the firm wants to continue producing 5,000 bicycles per day at the lowest possible cost, it should A. Continue using 100 hours of labor and 20 units...
The table below shows the number of hours of labor required to produce one unit of output of two different products (A and B) in two different countries (1 and 2). Product A Product B Country 1 6 2 Country 2 3 . 4 In trade equilibrium, the real wage of workers from country 2 employed in sector B will be Group of answer choices A equal to 1/2 B equal to 1/4 C equal to 4 D larger or...
Differences in productivity are usually the major force behind differences in wages and unit labor costs. Suppose that a single unskilled worker at a pottery factory in Mexico can produce 1 mug per hour. By comparison, suppose that a single unskilled worker at a pottery factory in the United States can produce 16 mugs per hour because more and better machinery generates higher labor productivity. The Mexican mugs and the American mugs are identical in quality and durability and sell...
Suppose that: In Malaysia the unit labor requirement (ULR) to produce a pound of rice and a pencil are 1 and 2 hours of labor respectively; In Indonesia, the unit labor requirement to produce a pound of rice and a pencil are 2 and 3 hours respectively; each country has 10,000 hours of labor to allocate between the production of rice and pencils; and in autarky, Malaysia consumes 5,000 pounds of rice and 2,500 pencils. When trade occurs, the world...
