4) Suppose that medieval England was a single, large, price-taking firm that produced one type of output with a constant-returns-to-scale Cobb-Douglas production function, q = 10.5K0.5. Labor and capital have inelastic supplies (everyone works and all capital is used). The Black Death killed 60% workers. If p is normalized to 1, K = L = 100, calculate the change in factor prices (wage and cost of capital).
Consider the following Cobb-Douglas production function for a firm that uses labor hours (L), capital (K), and energy (E) as inputs: Q = (0.0012L^0.45)(K^0.3)(E^0.2) Determine the labor, capital and energy production elasticities. Suppose that worker hours are increased by 2 percent holding other inputs constant. What would be the resulting percentage change in output? Suppose that capital is decreased by 3 percent holding other inputs constant. What would be the resulting percentage change in output? What type of returns to scale appears...
Suppose that medieval England was a single, large, price-taking firm that produced one type of output with a constant-returns-to-scale Cobb-Douglas production function, q L0.5k0.5 Labor and capital have inelastic supplies (everyone works and all capital is used). The Black Death killed (1 0) workers, causing the number of workers to fall from L to L*-θし. Show how much the wage, w, rose. If p is normalized to 1, K-400, L-400, and θ-0.4, calculate the change in factor prices. Suppose the...
Suppose the production function is Cobb-Douglas and f(x1, x2) = x^1/2 x^3/2 (e) What's the technical rate of substitution TRS (11, 12)? (f) Does this technology have diminishing technical rate of substitution? (g) Does this technology demonstrate increasing, constant or decreasing returns to scale?
1. Given the Cobb Douglas production function: Q = 60L0.3 0.7 (0) (ii) (iii) liv) Calculate the level of output when L = 30 and K = 20 Calculate the level of output when both inputs double Comment on the returns to scale Write an expression for In 2. A firm's turnover in yeart is described by y = 20e What is its turnover in year 0 and in year 4? (ii) After how many years will its turnover have...

The government receives revenue from the quota and not the tariff. b. Price increases more with a tariff. c. Quantity decreases more with a quota. d. The government receives revenue from the tariff and not the quota. e. Cannot be determined from the information 3) Will this firm shutdown? Q = 5 Price: $30 MC = $10 AVC...
