Please solve sub question (5) ONLY A company that produces healthcare services (patient visits) operates with the followingproduction function where q denotes the weekly output level in terms of the number ofpatients, L represents the hours of human intelligence (doctors and nurses) employed perweek, and K denotes the hours of artificial intelligence utilized per week:q=L0.5 K0.25The cost per hour for artificial intelligence is represented by r, and the cost per hour forhuman intelligence is denoted by w, both expressed in dollars per hour.1) Determine the optimal levels of L and K that minimize the firm's costs given a target levelof production q. Express the cost-minimizing levels of Land K as two functions of q, w, andr. Show your work carefully.For the following questions, for simplicity, assume that w=1 and r=1.2) Suppose the firm aims to produce eight visits this week (q=8), calculate the optimal hoursof human intelligence Land artificial intelligence K. Also find the total cost of producingthose eight patient visits.3) Considering the firm has the flexibility to adjust L and K (we are in the long run of thefirm), what is the firm's supply curve?4) Suppose the firm decides on a new production level of 12 patients seen per week but hasalready committed to 9 hours of artificial intelligence K and cannot change this input. Howmany hours of human intelligence L will the firm need to employ to achieve this newproduction level in the short run of the firm? What will be the cost of reaching this newoutput?5) Intuitively, with words, briefly discuss what would happen with your answers in (1), and(2) if there is technological change and now the production function becomes:q=L0.25 K0.5

New Production function : q = L0.25 K0.5Price of K = rPrice of L = w Cost constraint : C = wL +…

Each term (3 months) the current group of economics students completed a questionnaire as to how much they would spend on new purchases compared to how much they would save/pay off bills, if they suddenly and unexpectedly received a check for $1,000. The average MPC is shown in the table below. Month in which student poll was taken Average of students’ responses as MPC March 0.41 June 0.30 September 0.22 December 0.56 What do these MPC’s imply about the students’ thinking over the course of the year? (Enter response here.) What is likely happening in the economy during the same period of time?

This question is intended to have a written response given. The writtenresponse should be 2-3 paragraphs maximum and focused on answer the specific questions of interest using the tools/concepts from lecture/tutorials. You may include agraph to support your argument/ideas, but this is not required (note: I would recommend you sketch a graph when thinking about how to answer this question, thoughthat does not need to be submitted). Leung and Seo wrote an article “How do government transfer payments affect retail prices and welfare? Evidence from SNAP” (Jan,2023) in the Journal of Public Economics. To answer this question, you do not need togo read the paper. I would in fact recommend against it as the paper is very technicaland assumes a knowledge of statistics that most students taking Econ 201 will nothave (some of the ideas will be discussed in Econ 233 and Econ 333). We will use theinformation/main ideas as a starting framework.In the United States, one of the largest welfare…

An investigator will be studying nutrition among Latina women. To find participants to interview, she requested a list of names and contact information for all Latina women from a community clinic. These women had already provided consent and had agreed to be contacted about participating in future research studies. The list included 1,000 names of potential participants for the nutrition study. The investigator chose 200 of the women from this list to contact for possible inclusion in the study. D3 Question: Do the women included on this list represent the larger group?
To study the determinants of growth across the countries in the world, researchers have used country level observations averaged over long periods of time (e.g. averaged over 1960- 2000). Some of these studies have focused on the effect that inflation has on growth and found that although the effect is small for a given time period, it accumulates over time and therefore has an important negative effect. (a) Explain why the OLS estimator may be biased in this case. (b) Some authors have suggested using an index of the Central Bank Independence as an instrumental variable. Discuss whether or not such an index would be a valid instrument (discuss both relevance and exogeneity; note that instrumental validity is more of an economic rather than econometric concept
