- Qno1.You have been hired by Kia as manager for its Pakistan operations. Assume following is the short-run production function at their assembly plant outside Karachi: Q = 10L2 – 0.5 L3 where L is variable input labor, Q is output of Cars assembled Required. a). Assume Kia Head Office is considering hiring more laborers either at their Gwadarplant or alternatively at the Karachi plant. What will be your advice if workers’ marginal product is 40 at wage of Rs=5/hour in Karachi and marginal product is 28 at wage of Rs=4/hour in Gawdar?1. A firm's production technology is Y = A * K^0.25 * L^0.75, where the technology level A=8. For such a production function the marginal product of capital is MPK = 0.25 * 8 * K^-0.75 / L^0.75 The firm is stuck with K=81 but is flexible on workers. If the price of the firm's output is P=20 and the cost of a unit of capital is R=8.33, how many workers should the firm have? Round your answer to the whole worker.1.

- Capital (K) Labor (L) Output (q) 8 0 0 8 1 6 8 2 13.5 8 3 23.5 8 4 31 8 5 37 8 6 42 8 7 46 8 8 49 8 9 51.4 8 10 53.4 Let r = $20 be the price of one unit of capital, and w = $60 be the price of one unit of labor. a. Assume the table represents the production technology of a firm. What are the firm’s output and result (profit or loss) in the short run when the price is $6, $8, $10, $12, $15, and $20? b. If the market is formed by 100 identical firms like this one, what’s the short-run market supply at each of the prices listed in 1.a? c. How would your answers to 1.a and 1.b change if you consider the long run instead? (Assume that each firm still uses 8 units of capital for any output level when producing.) d. How much would you expect each firm to make in profits in the long run if there is free entry and exit in this market? What would be the market price and quantity? You do not need to give exact numbers for the price and quantity—a range is fine.This problem is connected to module 10. Again, its purpose is to acquaint you with the summary measures of production theory, and to reason about production theory. In the short run, a firm cannot vary its capital and operates with K = 9. It can, however, vary the amount of labor (L) that it uses. For each production function below, explain why the firm will or will not experience diminishing marginal returns to labor in the short run. q= 35L + 40Kq= (L^0.5)(K^0.5)Question Onea. The Mature Corporation produces yo-yos at its factory. Both its labor and capital markets are competitive. Wages are K12 per hour and yo-yo-making equipment (a computer controlled plastic extruding machine) rents for K4 per hour. The production function is q = 40K 0.25L 0.75, where q = boxes of yo-yos per week, K = hours of yo-yo equipment used, and L = hours of labor. i Determine the cost minimizing capital-labor ratio at this firm. ii Determine the amount of labour used in production as a function of q. b. Briefly explain factor that contribute to frictional unemployment in the economy.c. Explain why a Marginal factor cost (MFC = W) is perfectly elastic in a perfect competitive industry? d. Explain why internal markets for labor are every important for a firm?
- (Continued) Suppose that the rent for capital is $1 per unit, and the wage for labor is $2 per unit. In the short run, Firm ABC uses 2 27 units of capital to produce 12 units of output. (hint: 83 = 4) How many units of labor does Firm ABC hire? What is the short-run total cost for 12 units of output? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.Assume that a firm’s total revenue is $200,000 per year. It pays its workers wages of $105,000 per year and buys raw materials of $80,000 per year. If the owner has $200,000 invested in this business and could earn 9% by placing this $200,000 in another business, then A) economic profits and accounting profits are both positive. or B)opportunity cost is zero.57: The creation of a unit of good Y requires the work of 3 specialists and 7 units of capital. The going pay is $ 4. The lease on a unit of capital is $ 1. What ought to be the peripheral actual result of capital all together for the creation to be completed basically cost and what is this cost if the minimal actual result of work is 2?
