Exercise 1 Question B3 (2010) function: A firm faces the following production The firm is perfectly competitive and hires its machines at a constant rental rate of r = 5 euros per hour and its workers at a constant wage rate of w 4 euros per hour. It can also sell as much output as it wishes at the ruling market price of P 40 euros. 1 Find the most profitable output, the profits at this output, and the corre-...

1. Consider a firm which produces according to the following production function by using labor and capital: f(1,k) = klid (e) Suppose the wage rate of labor is 2 TL, the rental rate of capital is 2 TL and fixed capital input, k, is 2 units. What amount of output minimizes short-run average cost? What is the minimum possible short-run average cost? (f) Find short-run firm supply as a function of input prices, w and v, and output price, p....

4. Cosider a firm that produces a certain good. The demand is uncertain. There is 50% chance the demand is high, and 50% chance the demand is low. When the demand is high, its demand for labor is w 12-0.5L. When the demand is low, its demand for labor is w 8-0.5L. Here w is wage for each worker and L is the total number of workers it hires. When the demand is high, the profit of the firm can...

7. A firm has the production function Q=LK. The firm initially faces input prices w = $1 and r = $1 and is required to produce Q=100 units. Later the price of labor w goes up to $4. Find the optimal input combinations for each set of prices and use these to calculate the firm's price elasticity of demand for labor over this range of prices.

1. A firm operates in the long run. Its long-run production function is given as: Q = LK, where Qis units of output, Lis units of labor, and K is units of capital. (a) Obtain six integer combinations of Land K when Q = 12. (b) Obtain six integer combinations of Land K when Q = 18.

Consider a firm with a production function given by Q = 40N − 0.125N^2 . This implies that the marginal product of labour is MPN = 40 − 0.25N. Suppose that the market price for the good that the firm produces is P = 1, and the market wage is w = 5. (a) How many workers will the firm choose to hire? b) Compute the firm’s profits given the optimal choice of employment c) At what wage level would...

17) We manufacturer automobiles given the production function q = 5KL where q is the number of autos assembled per eight-hour shift, K is the number of robots used on the assembly line (capital) and L is the number of workers hired per hour (labor). If we use K = 10 robots and L = 10 workers in order to produce q = 450 autos per shift, then we know that production is: A) technologically efficient. B) technologically inefficient. C)...
(b) Find the short run supply function for each firm.
The demand curve for a product is given by Q = 800 – 0.1P where P denotes price and Q denotes quantity of the product. The industry comprises large number of firms. Each firm's cost function is C(q) = 2000 + 500q+ 20q2(b) Find the short run supply function for each firm.
