4. In an imaginary economy of Cotton Land, 190,000 tons of cotton were produced in a day. The number of people who were involved in this production was 4500 and each of them worked for 8 hours. Further, there are 50 companies that employed these people in their processing plants. Calculate the productivity of this economy.

Suppose that in the year 2010, Celestial Electronics planned toproduce 950,000 units of its portable GPS devices. Of the950,000 it planned to produce, a total of 25,000 units wouldbe added to the inventory at its new plant in Florida. Alsoassume that these units have been selling at a price of $100each and that the price has been constant over time. Supposefurther that this year the firm built a new plant for $5 millionand acquired $2.5 million worth of equipment. It had noother investment projects, and to avoid complications,assume no depreciation.Now suppose that at the end of the year, Celestial had produced950,000 units but had only sold 900,000 units and that invento-ries now contained 50,000 units more than they had at thebeginning of the year. At $100 each, that means that the firmadded $5,000,000 in new inventory.a. How much did Celestial actually invest this year?b. How much did it plan to invest?c. Would Celestial produce more or fewer units next year? Why
can you assist?

The marginal product of adding ranch hands is 50 sheep and the marginal product of an acre of land is 5 sheep. Bob's Buffalo Ranch raises buffalo. Currently Bob has 8 ranch hands, 1,000 acres of land and 500 buffalo. The marginal product of adding ranch hands is 10 buffalo and the marginal product of an acre of land is 1 buffalo.
