- A craft chocolate producer considers hiring one extra worker in production. Currently, the shop is selling 200 chocolate bars per day at a price of $6. With one extra worker, the manager estimates that they would be able to increase the output to 250 chocolate bars per day and that they would need to lower the price to $5.50 in order to sell them. The daily salary of this new employee would be the same as for the existing ones: $150. What should the manager do? Group of answer choices Reduce the number of workers working in his chocolate place Increase its selling price Turn down the new worker and maintain the same number of employees Increase the salary of all employees Hire the extra workerQuestion Management of AG Travel and Tour has identified two groups of individuals thatwould be interested in the vacation package consisting of room and board and/orentertainment. The maximum amount that group 1 is willing to pay for room andboard is GHC 2500 and for entertainment is GHC 500. For group 2, the maximumamount they are willing to pay for room and board is GHC 1800 and forentertainment is GHC 750. Although AG Travel and Tour is not able to identifymembers of either group, it does know that each group values the components ofthe package differently. Assuming there are an equal number of members in eachgroup and that the total membership in each group is a single individual. If themarginal cost of providing the service (room and board and/or entertainment) toeach group is GHC 1000. i. How much will the hotel charge members of each group for the vacationpackage if it could identify the members in each group?ii. How much will the profit for AG Travel and Tour be? iii. Since AG…Imagine a signaling model where there are two types of workers, low-productivity workers with a productivity of 10, and high-productivity workers with a productivity of 30. The proportion of low-productivity workers is .5. Firms are competitive and obtain profit equal to the productivity of the worker they hire. Workers can obtain one of three levels of education: e1, e2, and e3. Workers get utility equal to their wage minus the cost of education. Wages must be between 10 and 30. The cost of getting an education for low-productivity workers is e1 = 0, e2 = 9, e3 = 18. The cost of getting an education for high-productivity workers is e1 = 0, e2 =4, e3 = 8. Are there any separating equilibria in this model? If so, find them, if not show why they do not exist.

A) Are there any pooling equilibria in this model? If so find all of them, if not, show why they do not exist.Many police officer positions require the applicant to have a college degree, even though the tasks of a police officer rarely call upon college course material. Suppose two individuals who do not have college degrees are considering applying to the police force. Ginny is considering applying for an officer position and plans on working for the police force for a period of time, over which she would earn approximately $500,000 (in present discounted value) in earnings while in the position. Kenji is also considering applying, and plans on working as an officer for a period of time, over which he would earn approximately $10,000 (in present discounted value) in lifetime earnings while in the position. Also suppose that present value of obtaining a college degree, which is required to submit a job application to the police department, is $100,000. Use the following table to indicate whether each individual would likely apply, or not, given the cost of obtaining a college degree.…What is the likelihood that firms would enter the market in the short-run? Use COVID-19 as a market condition to elaborate the likelihood and further elaborate an exit strategy if one exists.
- Which statements are true or false? S1: Multiple equilibria is a condition in which more than one equilibriumexists. S2: These equilibria sometimes may be ranked, in the sense that oneis preferred over another, but the unaided market will not move theeconomy to the preferred outcome.Q-3 Are the following statement true of false ? You need to provide an aurgument for and against it why it is so.You have the following observations about a consumer's purchase choices of two commodities, 1 and 2: When the prices were ($3,$6) consumer purchases bundle A = (2, 5). When the prices were ($7, $3) consumer purchases bundle C = (3, 5) You did not observe when consumer purchases Bundle B = (4, 4) . a. Compute the cost of each bundle A, B, C given each price pair. Then determine how the consumer ranks the bundles using Directly Revealed Preferred (DRP) relation. b. What can you say about the bundles using Indirectly Revealed Preferreu (IRP) relation?
