- What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?A firm is considering an investment that will earn a 6 rate of return. If it were to borrow the money, it would have of pay 8 interest on the loan, but it currently has the cash, so it will But need to borrow. Should the firm make line investment? Show your work.A small company that shovels sidewalks and driveways has 100 homes signed up for its services this winter. It can use various combinations of capital and labor: intensive labor with hand shovels, less labor with snow blowers, and still less labor with a pickup truck that has a snowplow on front. To summarize, the method Choices are: Method 1: 50 units of labor, 10 units of capital Method 2: 20 units of labor, 40 units of capital Method 3: 10 units of labor, 70 units of capital If hiring labor for the winter costs $100/unit and a unit of capital costs 400, what is the best production method? What method should the company use if the cost of labor rises to $20/unit?

(d) Does law of diminishing marginal returns holds in above scenario? Why and why not.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?

- 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.WW is a small automobile manufacturer. The table below shows WW’s long-run average total cost: Quantity of cars LRATC of car 1 $60,000 2 40,000 3 30,000 4 24,000 5 24,000 6 24,000 7 28,000 8 36,000 which levels of output does WW experience economies of scale? ___________ which levels of output does WW experience diseconomies of scale? ___________ which levels of output does WW experience constant returns to scale? ___________Specify and explain the typical shapes of marginal-benefifit 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 benefifit, should more or fewer resources be allocated to this product? Explain.
