Explain your answers (2 marks each) - x = 5070.3k0.3 x = 2020.45 k0.55 x = 570.610k0.6 Suppose our price-taking and wage-taking firm can produce a single output x using inputs labour (l) and capital (k) according to the production function: x = f(1,k)...
QUESTION 1 Use the following information to answer questions (1)-(5). Consider a two identical oligopolists facing a market demand corresponding to the equation: P=$160-0.5*Q, where P is the price level and Q is the total supply to the market. The production function of the technology used by each identical olipolist operates according to: q=42+12+ln(w), where w is the unit of labor employed and q the level of production. The total cost of production follows equation: TC=q+q%. The following table summarizes...
Answer questions 17-19 below using the following information: A firm is producing in the short-run (with K fixed at 10 units) according to the following production function: F(L) = Q =10L -0.25L^2 . You also know that w=$15, r=$20 and the firm can sell its product for P=$7.50. 17. To minimize costs how much labor should the firm hire in the short run? a. L=16 b. L=30 c. L=20 d. None is correct 18. How much output Q is produced?...
1. a) The government is contemplating introducing one of two alternative taxes: a tax on commodity x (that would double the price of x, expressed in terms of the numeraire good, y) and a lump sum tax. Assume that the government knows the preferences (i.e., the indifference mapy of a representative taxpayer and his/her indifference curves have the usual convex shape. Suppose that government could predict how much tax revenue it could raise if it introduced the commodity tax. With...

Part II. Problem-solving questions Consult Figure below to finish blanks in Question 16 and 17. Curve SS represents a domestic supply curve for some good X; if X is a competitive industry, then SS represents the horizontal sum of the marginal cost curves of many firms. Curse DD represents domestic demand for the same good. It is implicitly assumed that consumers do not care where the good was made, they simply want to buy the indicated quantities at the indicated...
