A software company in Silicon Valley uses programmers (labor) and computers (capital) to produce apps for mobile devices. The firm estimates that when it comes to labor, MPL = 5 apps per month while PL = $1,000 per month. And when it comes to capital, MPC = 8 apps per month while PC = $1,000 per month. If the company wants to maximize its profits, it should: LO16.5 a. Increase labor while decreasing capital. b. Decrease labor while increasing capital. c. Keep the current amounts of capital and labor just as they are. d. None of the above.

a. What is productivity in this economy?
b. What is the per-unit cost of production if the price of each input
unit is $2?
c. Assume that the input price increases from $2 to $3 with no
accompanying change in productivity. What is the new per-unit cost
of production? In what direction would the $1 increase in input price
push the economy's aggregate supply curve? What effect would this
shift of aggregate supply have on the price level and the level of real
output?
d. Suppose that the increase in input price does not occur but,
instead, that productivity increases by 100 percent. What would be
the new per-unit cost of production? What effect would this change
in per-unit production cost have on the economy's aggregate supply
curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate supply have on the
price…
