- What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?Give the three reasons that explain why the division of labor increases an economys level of production.A small company that shovels sidewalks and driveways has 100 homes signed up for its services this winter. It can use various combinations of capital and labor: intensive labor with hand shovels, less labor with snow blowers, and still less labor with a pickup truck that has a snowplow on front. To summarize, the method Choices are: Method 1: 50 units of labor, 10 units of capital Method 2: 20 units of labor, 40 units of capital Method 3: 10 units of labor, 70 units of capital If hiring labor for the winter costs $100/unit and a unit of capital costs 400, what is the best production method? What method should the company use if the cost of labor rises to $20/unit?
- Suppose that production function of certain devices is determined by: q = k * L - 0.8 k2 - 0.2 L2 Where q represents annual quantity of devices produced, k represents annual quantity of capital factor, and L represents annual quantity of labor factor. (a) Suppose k = 10; draw a graph with average and total labor productivity. What is level of labor (L) factor at which average productivity reaches a maximum? How many devices are produced at that point? (b) Assuming again that k = 10, plot Marginal Product (MP) curve. At what level do we have that labor (L) factor is MP = 0? (c) Suppose capital (k) factor were to increase to k = 20. How would your previous answers change?Production Function. Consider the Cobb-Douglas production function discussed in class:F(K, L) = AK^1/3 L^2/3. Suppose that parameters are initially A = 1, K = 150, and L = 10. d) Suppose that the quantity of labor L doubles. Calculate Y, w, r, Y/L, and K/L. Com-ment on how and why these numbers changed relative to (c) and why they did so. E) Suppose that the quantity of capital K doubles as well. (So now both K and L aretwice their previous value). Calculate Y, w, r, Y/L, and K/L. Comment on how thesenumbers changed relative to both their initial values, and their values in (d).USE R LANGUAGE TO SOLVE THE equation The output of a production process, Q is given by the function2K^(-3)L^(5/2)/2K log4 6L^2where K and L denote capital and Inbour. Calculate the output when the capital and labour are 10 and 20 units, respectively.
- A firm has two opportunities for a new plant location, one is in China and the other is inMexico. The firm's production function is given by q = L 0.5 K 0.5 , In China, the cost of laboris w=$15 and the cost of capital is r=$5. In Mexico, w=$10 and r=$10. The firm wants toproduce 100 units of output. Which location should the firm choose for their new plant?Explain why.Note: Please round the optimal amounts of capital and labor at each location to the nearest whole number when making your calculations.Hint: cost-minimization rule.uppose a Cobb-Douglas Production function is given by the following:P(L,K)=60L^0.8K^0.2where LL is units of labor, KK is units of capital, and P(L,K) is total units that can be produced with this labor/capital combination. Suppose each unit of labor costs $900 and each unit of capital costs $3,600. Further suppose a total of $900,000 is available to be invested in labor and capital (combined).A) How many units of labor and capital should be "purchased" to maximize production subject to your budgetary constraint?Units of labor, LL = Units of capital, KK = B) What is the maximum number of units of production under the given budgetary conditions? (Round your answer to the nearest whole unit.)Max production = unitsSuppose there are two inputs for production, labor and capital. The firm’s production process isdefined by the following production functiony=f(L,K).Howdoweinterpretthefirm’smarginalrateof technical substitution? a)How many units of capital the firm would have to give up in order to attain one more unit oflabor, such that the firm maintains the same cost level b)How many units of capital the firm would have to give up in order to attain one more unit oflabor, such that the firm produces one more unit of output c)How many units of capital the firm would have to give up in order to attain one more unit oflabor, such that the firm maintains the same level of production d)a) and b) are correct e)a) and c) are correct
- a) What are the determinants of production? Explain.b) Suppose that an economy’s production function is in the Cobb–Douglas form with parameter α = 0.3. What is the production function equation? What does each component stand for?1. The production function for the personal computers of DISK, Inc., is given by q = 10K0.5L0.5,where q is the number of computers produced per day, K is hours of machine time, and L ishours of labor input. DISK’s competitor, FLOPPY, Inc., is using the production function q = 10K0.6L0.4. a. If both companies use the same amounts of capital and labor, which will generatemore output?b. Assume that capital is limited to 9 machine hours, but labor is unlimited in supply. Inwhich company is the marginal product of labor greater? Explain.Production Function. Consider the Cobb-Douglas production function discussed in class:F(K, L) = AK1/3 L2/3. Suppose that parameters are initially A = 1, K = 150, and L = 10. D) Suppose that the quantity of labor L doubles. Calculate Y, w, r, Y/L, and K/L. Com-ment on how and why these numbers changed relative to (c) and why they did so.
