Explain, using our increasing returns model with firms that have different marginal costs and some cost to export (t), how an increase in tariffs affects firms’ entry/exit in exporting, and firms’ export sales. Draw a diagram(s) to help you explain
according to Bengam," As increase of labout nd capital leads generally to improved organisation which increase the efficiency of the work of labour and capital. Therefore, an increase of labour and capital generally gives a return which increase more than in proportion."
- Increase in tariffs affects firms export
sales. It can raise the cost of parts and materials, which would
raise the price of goods using those inpputs and reduce private
sector output. the more valuable dollar would make it more
difficult for exporters to sell their goods on the global market,
resulting in loweer revenues for exporters.
Trade barrier such as tariffs inncrease the cost of both consumer and producer goods and depress the economic benefits of competition, inhibiting economic growth. tariffs are directly responsible for inflation, depressed aggregate demand, less capital expenditures, and lower productivity levels.
tariffs may be passed on to producers and consumers in the dorm of higher prices.

Consider a model of increasing returns to scale with symmetric firms. Algebraically show what the equilibrium number of firms, price, and average cost must be, in terms of their equation relating price to the number of firms p= c + (1/b*n) and average cost to the number of firms AC = Fn / (S+c). c- is constant marginal cost b - is constant term representing the responsiveness of a firm’s sales to its price n- is the number of firms...
Explain how marginal costs, direct costs and opportunity costs
are different. Use an example from your personal life to illustrate
each concept.
Do you agree with Robert Moses’ ideas of wiping out cities that
are an "impediment to new growth"? (see Scarcity and Eminent
Domain) Why or why not?
Using Table 1, create one graph that
illustrates all three lawnmowers’ Marginal Costs (Beth, Jim and
Susan).
Using Table 1, for each mower, identify if the Marginal Cost
and Total Cost...

33. Gas’n'Go is one of the 20 gas stations in Lafayette,
California. The following diagram shows the demand curve (D),
marginal revenue curve (MR), marginal cost curve (MC) and average
total cost curve (ATC) for GasN'Go. Assume that the market for
gasoline is a monopolistically competitive market.
Part 1: Label all curves and identify and label the initial price
(P1) and quantity (Q1).
Part 2: Suppose that the price of oil increases, causing Gas'n'Go's
production costs to also increase (oil...

Q1 [30 points] Show in a diagram using isoquants that a production function can have diminishing marginal return to a factor and constant returns to scale? With the help of a diagram explain the concepts of "isoquant", "diminishing marginal return to a factor", and "constant returns to scale". What are the similarities and differences between indifference curves and isoquants. Q2 [30 points Assume that a firm has a fixed-proportions production function, in which one unit of output is produced using...
The market for cashews is perfectly competitive and comprised of fifty (50) firms with identical cost structures and U-shaped ATC curves. The market demand curve for cashews is downward-sloping. The industry is initially in long run equilibrium at the following market price and quantity P* = $4/pound Q* = 50 pounds of cashews In TWO, well-labeled graphs (side by side), depict this long run equilibrium for both the cashew market and for the individual cashew firm. Be sure to calculate...

1. Short Run Cost Curves: Consider two firms, producing different products, with the following production functions: q=5KL (1) q=5(KL)-S (2) a. For a short-run situation in which K=100, and given wage = 3 and cost of capital = 1, derive expressions short run total cost for each production function. (Start by using the production function to develop an expression for Lin terms of q, and then substitute that, and the given parameters, into the...
