Microeconomics II is the most fun course you ever took. Explain?
A profit-maximizing competitive firm uses just one input, x. Its production function is q= 4(x)^1/2. The price of out-put is $28 and the factor price is $7. The amount of the factor that the firm demands is?
Can labor specialization be a source of economies of scale (size) within a production plant? Why or why not? Can labor specialization be a source of diseconomies of scale (size)?
