- What do a firm's opportunity costs of production amount to? Question 13 options: explicit costs, implicit costs, and total revenue combined implicit costs only explicit costs and implicit costs combined explicit costs onlyAssume you are pursuing a bachelor’s degree and you have 40 hours to divide between work and school in a week. You choose the amount of time you spend on each based on the classes you take and the hours you request at work. The degree will take you 3 years to complete if you dedicate 40 hours a week and do not take summers off. Obviously, if you devote no time to school, you never get your degree. You have been going to school full time for two quarters. In the third quarter, you do not receive as much loan money as you anticipate and need. You decide to work 20 hours a week to make up the difference and take fewer classes. What is your opportunity cost? Make sure to include how this change will factor into the length of time it will take you to finish your degree.The information on three different technologies named as q, v and x is listed in the table below. Note that all of these technologies use different combinations of two types of factors of production, labor and capital, to produce 1000 units of output. Consider the first scenario where the per unit prices of the inputs, labor and capital are $50 and $25 respectively. Technology No of Labors Capital (tons) Cost value ($) A 10 50 B 30 20 C 50 10 Now imagine that a discovery has been made which has led to labor advancements leading to a reduction in per unit price of labor to $10, ceteris paribus. Which technology will a typical firm adopt under these changed circumstances and why? Using the value of costs found, what is the value of the economic rent for this firm?
- Answer the following questions on the basis of this information for a single fifirm: total cost of capital = $1000; price paid for labor = $12 per labor unit; price paid for raw materials = $4 per raw-material unit. a. Suppose the firm can produce 5000 units of output by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average total cost of producing the 5000 units of output?b. Now assume the firm improves its production process so that it can produce 6000 units of output by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average cost of producing the 6000 units of output?c. Refer to your answers to 8a and 8b and explain how process innovation can improve economic efficiency.Q1.The following is a Cobb-Douglas production function: Q = 1.75K0.6L0.5. What is correct here? * -This production function displays constant returns to scale -This production function displays increasing returns to scale -A one-percent change in L will cause Q to change by one percent -This production function displays decreasing returns to scale Q2. For studying demand relationships for a proposed new product that no one has ever used before, what would be the best method to use? * -consumer surveys, where potential customers hear about the product and are asked their opinions -double log functional form regression model -ordinary least squares regression on historical data -market experiments, where the price is set differently in two marketsA firm faces the following costs: total cost of capital = $1,000; price paid for labor = $12 per labor unit; and price paid for raw materials = $4 per raw-material unit. a. Suppose the firm can produce 5,000 units of output this year by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average total cost of producing the 5,000 units of output? b. Now assume the firm improves its production process so that it can produce 6,000 units of output this year by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average total cost of producing the 6,000 units of output? c. If units of output can always be sold for $1 each, then by how much does the firm’s profit increase after it improves its production process? d. Suppose that implementing the improved production process would require a one-time-only cost of $1,100. If the firm only considers this year’s profit, would…
- Please answer question 3 a and b b.A clothing manufacturer makes trousers, skirts and blouses. Each trouser requires 20 minutes of cutting time, 60 minutes of sewing time and 5 minutes of packaging time. Each skirt requires 15 minutes of cutting time, 30 minutes of sewing time and 12 minutes of packaging time. Each blouse requires 10 minutes of cutting time, 24 minutes of sewing time and 6 minutes of packaging time. The amount of time available for cutting, sewing and packaging is 115 hours, 280 hours and 65 hours respectively. Using either the Inverse Method or the Cramer’s Rule, determine how many of each type of clothing should be made to use all available labor hours?Refer to figure above. The combination of outputs in the figure describes a situation in which:A) a company specializing in cars and another in tractors would generate the same output as a single company producing both.B) joint production has advantages that enable a single company to produce more cars and tractors with the same resources than would two companies producing each product separately.C) a direct relationship between economies of scale and economies of scope.D) a two-output firm can enjoy economies of scope only if its production process does not involve diseconomies of scale.Your firm specializes in recycling used plastics into consumer goods. You have three production opportunities: 1. You can produce plastic utensils for a revenue of $30,000 while production will cost $15,000. 2. Alternatively, you can produce lampshades: you calculate that at the optimal production, you expect to sell 2,000 lampshades every year at $10 each, and your average total cost per lampshade will be $2. 3. You also have the option to shut down your factory and produce nothing at a cost of $1,000 a year. Which opportunity do you choose? 4 Instead of working hard, Kendall Square Inc’s manager can shirk and not improve costs. In order to incentivize her hard work, Kendall Square Inc’s shareholders want to give the manager a bonus if they see that variable costs are cut by half. What is the maximum bonus that shareholders would be willing to give?
- Specify and explain the typical shapes of marginal-benefit and marginal-cost curves. How are these curves used to determine the optimal allocation of resources to a particular product? If current output is such that marginal cost exceeds marginal benefit, should more or fewer resources be allocated to this product? Explain.An entrepreneur owns a factory with two plants that produce the same skateboards but differ in the amount of capital and Labor in them. They are both represented by a simple Cobb- Douglas production function without a technology component. Plant 1 has K1=1 and Plant 2 has K2=4 while w=$20 and v=$20. 1-Write both production functions and derive the respective MPL of each one. If the entrepreneur wishes to minimize Short-Run total cost: 2-How would labor and output be allocated between the two plants and why? 3-Derive the short-run Total Cost, Average Cost and Marginal Cost Functions.Table 11.5 Units of Variable Resource Total Product Product Price ($) 0 0 22 1 15 20 2 29 18 3 42 16 4 54 14 5 65 12 6 75 10 7 84 8 8 92 6 9 99 4 10 105 2 Refer to Table 11.5, which shows data for a firm. The first column shows the number of variable resources employed in production, the second column shows firm’s total product, and the third column shows its product price. If the firm decides to hire five units of resource, then the market price paid to the resource is _____ Group of answer choices $74. $34. $100. $24. $54.
