1 Labor Demand Suppose that Wakanda Bakery has the following Cobb-Douglas Production Function: Y=K²E}, where K represents the units of capital employed, E is the number of employee hours employed, and Y is total production. Wakanda Bakery is bound by the minimum wage of the land and pays USD 15 per hour and the cost of capital, r, is equal to 1920 per unit. The firm faces 1 unit of capita that cannot be changed. 1. Wakanda Bakery is currently employing 8 hours of labor. Calculate the Total cost and Average cost of the firm. 2. Calculate the marginal products of labor and capital, then find the marginal cost. 3. Calculate the Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution. Is Wakanda Bakery "behaving" optimally? Why/why not? 4. Suppose that instead of employing 8 hours of labor, the firm instead hires 64 hours. Show the new marginal products of labor and capital. 5. Calculate the new MRTS. Is Wakanda Bakery "behaving" optimally at with this new number of hired employee hours? Why/why not?

Store Travel Time Each Way (minutes) Price of a Skirt (Dollars per skirt) Local Department Store 15 103 Across Town 30 87 Neighboring City 60 64 Juanita makes $16 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $16 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling. Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of Juanita's time and the total cost of shopping at each location.
