The production function in an economy is y is: Y=4(3.00N-0.0064N²), where the marginal product of labor is given by: MPN = 4(3.00 -0.0128N). The equation for the labor supply curve is: NS 62.0+15(1-t)w, where NS is the amount of labor supplied, w is the real wage and t is the tax rate on wage income. The tax rate is t = 0.25. Determine the labor demand function. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places): ND=

) What is the equation of the long-run aggregate supply curve? The income velocity of money is constant, and the money supply is fixed: V = 0.15 M = 5600 The production function is Y = F(L, K) = 8 x √L x √K The endowment of resources is given by the input combination (L, K) = (49, 25)
Consider a competitive, closed economy with a Cobb-Douglas production function with parameter α = 0.25. The parameter A is equal to 60. Assume also that capital is 100, labor is 100. Calculate GDP (Y) for this economy. Does the production function exhibit constant returns to scale? Demonstrate with examples. Determine if the production function exhibits diminishing marginal returns to capital. Demonstrate with calculus What is the real wage in this economy? What share of GDP will go to labor in this economy?
Answer each of the following questions as either true or false. For a statement to be “true,” it must always be true. If there is at least one case where the statement is not true (or if you need more information to be sure), answer “false.” You must justify each answer with an appropriate explanation or counterexample (which may include a relevant diagram). A firm can make widgets using capital and labor according to the production function f(K,L) = 100L + 0.5K. Denote the wage w and the rental rate on capital r. If r is sufficiently high, the firm will not hire any capital, no matter how many widgets it wants to produce.

explain the elasticities of production function for a neoclassical production function with the help of graph
Economic rent is a surplus payment when viewed by the economy as a whole but a cost of production from the standpoint of individual firms and industries. as the price of land increases, there is an incentive to provide more of the resource. land rents are necessary to the economy to ensure that the land is available for economic use. the supply of land responds to changes in rent, but in order to use the land profitably, revenue must cover the rental payments. the supply of land does not respond to changes in rent, but in order to use the land profitably, revenue must cover the rental payments.
In macroeconomics, the immediate short run is known as a length of time when both input prices and output prices are fixed. In the short-run, input prices are fixed but output prices are variable. In the long run, input prices and output prices can vary. Describe the AS curve in the Immediate Short run.
Consider an economy in which the aggregate production function is given by the equation: Y = 3.6 K0.5 N0.5 where (Y) is aggregate production, (A) measures productivity, (K) is the stock of physical capital and (N) is the amount of labor, measured in millions of workers. Both Y and K are measured in billions of reais. K is given and is 10,000 (i.e., 10,000 billion reais), so K0.5 = 100. The aggregate labor supply is given by the following equation: NS = [(1-t).w]2 where (t) is the income tax rate on labor and (w) is the real wage, measured in reais per hour. t = 0.20 (20%). The equilibrium levels of the real wage (w) and employment (N) are, respectively, [ANSWER] and [ANSWER]. The full employment production level (Y) is [ANSWER]. Finally, the after-tax real wage that workers receive per hour in this economy i
In the United States economy, there is a great deal of focus on technological advancements. These advances are said to increase worker productivity (like Zoom) or increase the productivity of capital (such as technology that makes the supply chain more efficient).What effect does advancement in technology have on the equilibrium real rental price and capital, assuming that the supply of capital is fixed? Explain, using the terms in the production function, how you know this to be true.
A firm has a production function of q=2(LK), where the L represents hours of labor, K represents hours of machine usage and q represents the hourly production volume. Currently the price of labor is $20 per hour and the price of capital is $40 per hour. a. When the production level is at 40,000 units, use the LaGrange process to determine how much they should spend on labor and capital. b. If the purchasing agent requests an additional unit (40,001st unit), what is the minimum price you should charge on that specific unit? (Note: determine this without re-solving the Lagrange problem itself.)
How does any one economic variable respond to changes in another? Why would a profit-maximizing firm expand the use of each input until its marginal revenue product equals the price of the input?
