8. Consider Meera's ice-cream shop with: Marginal Product of Capital: 6000 scoops/ice-cream maker Marginal Product of Labour: Wage rate: Rental rate of ice-cream maker $500/week Is Meera's ice-cream shop in producer's equilibrium? What is the condition you used to make this decision? Is she minimizing costs? If the shop is not in producer's equilibrium, what must Meera do to minimize costs and reach producer's equilibrium? 4000 scoops/worker $400/week

6 A firm spends $12,000 per day producing a good. The wage per worker is $200 per day and rental rate 1/3 2/3 3." per unit of capit.al is $400 per day. The firm faces the production function y = The cost-minimizing level of capital is and the cost-minimizing level of labor is
1. What should the firm do if the marginal product obtained from the last dollar spent on capital is smaller than the marginal product derived from the last dollar spent on labor and why? Graphically illustrate.
.2. Tiva has a crafts store that makes jewelry using beads (B) and copper (C). Her productionfunction for jewelry is given byQ = B0.4C0.4Suppose she can buy beads and copper at prices PB and PC, respectively.(a) Calculate Tiva’s marginal rate of technical substitution between B and C.(b) Does this production function have increasing, constant, or decreasing returns to scale?Explain. (c) Set up the cost minimization problem you would use to calculate Tiva’s cost functionC(Q) in Lagrangian form. (Note: You do not need to solve it or derive first orderconditions.Suppose Tiva decides to branch out in her jewelry offerings by getting a 3D printer. The costof producing new 3D printed jewelry isC(Q) = 25 + Q24For the rest of this problem, assume Tiva can produce fractions of jewelry, don’t worry aboutrestricting your answers to whole numbers.(d) Compute Tiva’s marginal cost and average cost of production for 3d printed jewelry.(e) Explain why she will shut down when the market price falls…
I have graphed the isoquant line but I can’t figure out how to graph the isocost line? Could you verify my math and show the isoquant and isocost line graphed please?
Refer to the graph shown. Within which section(s) of the production function is marginal product decreasing? A B C Number of workers O Band C O A O B O A and B Output

At Stacy's current production level, an extra bunch of scarves adds 20 extra hats. Each bunch of scarves costs $53. What is Stacy's Marginal Cost of an extra hat?
GM cuts jobs at its Australian manufacturing unit GM will cut 500 jobs, or about 12% of its workforce, at its Australian plant because of a sharp fall in demand for its locally-made "Cruze" small car. Source: The Wall Street Journal, April 8, 2013 As GM cuts its workforce, how will the marginal product and average product of a worker change in the short run? Suppose that before the cuts the marginal product of GM workers is below their average product. As the number of workers decreases, the marginal product of a GM worker and the average product of a GM worker in the short run. increases; decreases does not change; does not change decreases; decreases increases; increases decreases; increases
