Suppose, from 2018 to 2019, a country’s output rose from 20,000 to 30,000 units, its capital stock rose from 5,000 to 7,000, and its labor force declined from 8,000 to 6,000. Suppose the elasticity of output with respect to capital and labor are equal to 0.4 and 0.6, respectively. Answer the following questions based on the above information: a. How much did capital contribute to economic growth over the year? b. How much did labor contribute to economic growth over...
Labor Market and Production: Wage=100-N Wage=25+2N Y=A*K.5N.5 Goods Market: C=50+2/3(Y-T)-200r I=100-200r G=70 T=50 Asset Market: MS=245/P MD=1/2(Y)-100r a. Suppose that the current capital-labor ratio is 1 (the amount of capital exactly equals the number of workers) and that the total factor productivity (technology) equals 20. What are the equilibrium wage, employment level, and the full employment level of output? Draw this all graphically and make sure to label the graph

1) An economy has the following aggregate production function: Y= Ak^1/3L^2/3 and capital stock, labour supply and total factor productivity of 512, 1000, and 5 respectively. a) What is the effect of a 50% change in the capital stock on the marginal product of labour and the marginal product of capital? b) What is the effect of this change in the capital stock on Output and Consumption, if taxes are 800 and the Marginal Propensity to Consume is 2/3? I...
Given that Labor Force is 120M workers, the capital stock is 32 B, and total productivity is 2933.71 A. If production function is Y=AK1/4L3/4, What is real GDP b. What is MPL c. What is MPK d. If labor force increase 130 M workoers, what will happen to real GDP c. Graph the production function, with capital on the horizontal axis, and use your graph to explain the different effect of doubling force and doubling total factor productivity.
The following graph shows the isoquant representing the combinations of capital and labor needed to produce 10 left-handed can openers. Assume that diminishing marginal returns characterize the production function. (Hint: click a point on the graph to see its coordinates.) 500 450 400 360 300 LABOR (Workers) 260 + 200 160 + * 100 50 o 12 3 18 15 o 21 Using the information provided on the graph, complete the following table with the changes in capital and labor...
Suppose a pharmaceutical company increases the price of insulin from $25 per vial to $50 per vial. At $25 per vial, the equilibrium quantity is 100 per day. At $50 per vial the equilibrium quantity is 90 vials per day. Calculate price elasticity of demand. What is the price effect and the quantity effect in terms of their impact on the pharmaceutical firm’s total revenue?
