Chapter 15.1, Problem 97E

(a)

To determine

To calculate: The formulas in a and K using the data for each of the two year and the Cobb-Douglas formula. If two year ago, my piano manufacture plant employed 1000 workers, had an operating budget of $1 million, turned out 100 pianos. Last year, I slashed the operating budget to $10,000 and production dropped to 10 pianos.

(b)

To determine

To calculate: The equations in a and logK If two year ago, my piano manufacture plant employed 1000 workers, had an operating budget of $1 million, turned out 100 pianos. Last year, I slashed the operating budget to $10,000 and production dropped to 10 pianos.

(c)

To determine

To calculate: The value for a and K If two year ago, my piano manufacture plant employed 1000 workers, had an operating budget of $1 million, turned out 100 pianos. Last year, I slashed the operating budget to $10,000 and production dropped to 10 pianos.

(d)

To determine

To calculate: The number of pianos using the Cobb-Douglas formula if increase the operating budget back to $1 million but lay off half the workforce. If two year ago, my piano manufacture plant employed 1000 workers, had an operating budget of $1 million, turned out 100 pianos. Last year, I slashed the operating budget to $10,000 and production dropped to 10 pianos.
