- 5 Supposing that a single consumer works for a firm, the quantity of labor input for the firm, N, is identical to the quantity of hours worked by the consumer, h - l. Graph the relationship between output produced, Y on the vertical axis and leisure hours of the consumer, l, on the horizontal axis, which is implied by the production function of the firm. (In Chapter 5, we refer to this relationship as the production possibilities frontier.) What is the slope of the curve you have graphed? PLEASE DO NOT COPY OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK AND GRAPHClass Activity •Choice land has 250 workers and produces only two goods, X and Y. Labouris the only factor of production, but some workers are better suited to producing X than Y (and vice versa). The Table below shows the maximum levels of output of each good possible from various levels of labout input a)Draw the production possibilities boundary on a scale diagram, with the production of X on the horizontal axis and the production of Y on the vertical axis. b)If the economy is producing 20 units of X and 800 units of Y, what is the opportunity cost of producing an extra 10 units of XIn your "toast" production function, you used your labor and a toaster as capital. Keeping capital constant, i.e., with only one toaster if you keep adding the labor, i.e., bring your friends to help you with making toasts, which of the following might happen? Group of answer choices Marginal returns to labor will be a constant. Marginal returns to labor will keep decreasing and, after a point, it will become negative. Marginal returns to labor will keep increasing. Marginal returns to labor will keep increasing and then be a constant.
- Discuss in detail the production possibility curve by linking that to the concept of pareto,productive and allocative efficiency /inefficiency (with the use of well labelled graph)Explain what is meant by allocative efficiency and under what conditions is this efficiency achieved? And explain what is meant by efficiency in production, and under what conditions is this efficiency achieved?Suppose to produce iced milk coffee and toasted bread need capital and labour, and price of capital is 4 per unit. Given the ratio of marginal product of labour (MPL) to marginal product of capital (MPK) is 2 for milk coffee production and 1/2 for toasted bread production, prove and explain whether allocation resources in iced milk coffee and toasted bread production is efficient. If not, what should you do to achieve efficient production? Use relevant graph to support you’re answer.
- 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.The concept of production possibility frontier explains that a. any point within the curve is a combination of labor and capital input that fall short of putting all inputs to good use b. that capital is more that labor inputs c. any point within the curve is a combination of labor and capital input that is utilized d. that labor is more that capital inputs The concept of production possibility frontier explains that a. labor and capital combination is not enough to produce an output that have very minimal wastage b. level of output is optimal c. labor and capital combination is not enough to produce an output d. level of inputs is optimal more than zero but less than one in the concept of Income Elasticity means a. luxury goods b. substitute goods c. inferior good d. necessity goodsRobinson is trapped on an island and can produce Fish (F) or Coconuts (C) with his time. Let LF and LC denote labor hours dedicated to fishing or gathering coconuts, respectively. Robinson's technological relationships for producing fish is given by: F=12LF Robinson's technological relationships for producing coconuts is given by: C=14LC Which of the following is/are correct? check all that apply - Robinson becomes less productive at the margin for each additional hour spent fishing - every hour spent harvesting coconuts is equally productive at the margin in terms of labor usage - Robinson becomes less productive at the margin for each additional hour spent harvesting coconuts - every hour of labor spent fishing is equally productive at the margin in terms of labor usage
- Production Techniques: I II III IV Labor 4 3 2 5 Capital 2 3 5 2 Answer the question on the basis of the following information: Suppose 15 units of product A can be produced by employing just labor and capital in the four ways shown below. Assume the prices of labor and capital are $3 and $5, respectively. Which technique is economically most efficient in producing A?Assume an economy producing only two goods (shoes and computers) with a fixed amount ofproductive resources and technology and employing all its productive resources to the maximum.Production in this economy is subjected to the law of diminishing marginal returns and resourcesare assumed to be fully optimized. In addition, the cost of sacrificing shoes for computers andvice versa is 1. On the basis of the foregoing assumptions, answer the following questions:i. Draw the economy’s production possibility frontier on hindsight of the relevantassumption.ii. Why are points outside the frontier unattainable? iii. Identify three ways by which the economy can attain the level of production outside thePPF. iv. What happens to the PPF when technological change overwhelmingly favours theproduction of computers? v. What happens to the PPF when the economy discovers an improved technology forproducing shoes? vi. Assume now that the sacrifice ratio is greater than 1, show what will happen to the…3. We often work with production technologies that give rise to initially increasing marginal product of labor that eventually decreases. Are the following statements then True or False? Explain.If the marginal product of labor ever becomes zero, we know that the production frontier becomes perfectly flat at that point.
