Please show all steps/explanations. Correct answer is C. Thanks
Given that w2 > 2w1 we have w1/w2 < 0.5
MRTS = MPx1/MPx2
= 0.5(x1 + 2x2)^-0.5 / 0.5*2(x1 + 2x2)^-0.5
= 0.5
Now MRTS is 0.5 and w1/w2 is less than 0.5.
Hence MRTS > w1/w2
This implies that plastic is more productive and firm uses only plastic.
This results in q = (x1 + 0)^0.5
q = x1^0.5 or x1 = q^2
Cost function is C = wL
C = w1 * q^2
Supply function is MC = P
MC = 2qw1
Hence supply function is P = 2qw1
q = P/2w1
Select option C

please show ALL STEPS and box answers, will thumbs up, Thanks! The price-demand and cost functions for the production of microwaves are given as 2 p=220 - 50 and C(2) = 16000 + 802, where x is the number of microwaves that can be sold at a price of p dollars per unit and C(x) is the total cost (in dollars) of producing a units. (A) Find the marginal cost as a function of x. C'(x) = 80 (B) Find...
3. Irmas Handicrafts produces plastic deer for lawn ornaments. Its hard work, says Irma, but anything to make a buck. Her production function is given by f(21, 12) = (min-1, 2.c2})"/2, where I is the amount of plastic used, 22 is the amount of labor used, and f(21.12) is the number of deer produced. (a) On a graph, draw a production isoquant representing input combinations that will produce 4 deer. Draw another production isoquant representing input combinations that will produce...
please show all steps in working An individual's utility function is given by U =1000x, +450x, +5x,X, - 2x -x where is the amount of leisure measured in hours per week and measured in cedis per week. is income earned Determine the value of the marginal utilities, when - 138 and 3 - 500. Hence estimate the change in utility if the individual works for an extra hour, which increases earned income by GH¢15 per week. Does the law of...
