7 The Paunch Burger restaurant chain currently produces 250,000 units of output by using 2,400 units of capital and 520 units of labor. Paunch Burger’s marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) of labor for capital is 3.5. If Paunch Burger’s regional manager wants to produce the same amount of output but increase the company’s use of capital by 175 units, how many units of capital will Paunch Burger now need to use?

QUESTION 3 Two inputs, labour (L) and capital (K) are used to produce a given output. The Marginal Product of L is equal to K: the Marginal Product of K is equal to L The hourly wage is w = 1; the interest rate is r= 2. Which of the following mixes of inputs could be cost minimizing for some level of production? O a. (K-0, L=100) Ob.(K=100, L-200) OC (K-200, L=100) O d. (K-1, L=3) O e (K=0, L-3)

Quacion Last year, Jarod left a job that pays $80,000 to run his own bike-repair shop. Jarod's shop charges 365 for a repair, and last year the shop performed 4,000 repairs. Jarod's production costs for the year included rent, wages, and equipment, Jarod spent $60,000 on rent and $120.000 on wages for his employees. Jarod keops whatever preft the shop eams but does not pay himself an olle wage Jarod used $25,000 of his savings to buy a machine for the business. His savings a saming an annual interest rate of 6 percent. a. What is Jarod's annual accounting profi? ( b. What is Jarod's annual economic profit? c.

3. Theo employs labor at a competitive wage (W) of $3 per unit, and he employs capitalat a competitive rental rate (R) of $6 per unit.a. State the cost-minimizing rule. You must provide both a written statement of it, and state it as anequation.b. At Theo’s current combination of labor and capital, the marginal product of labor (MPL) is twiceas large as the marginal product of capital (MPK). Is Theo currently employing the optimal ratio oflabor and capital? If not, how should he adjust his hiring of labor and/or capital? Explain.
