As distance to the city center increases, an office firm’s willingness to pay for space [increases / decreases / remains] at a(n) [increasing / decreasing / constant] rate.
To be efficient, outputs should be produced that minimize total cost. True or false
.A company can sell its only product and in a perfectly competitive market at a price of 15. To produce it, it must purchase two production inputs: labor (x1) and machinery (x2). Initially, the company only has 1 machine and it is not possible to change this in the short term. Inputs are purchased in competitive markets with respective prices (w1, w2) = (5,10). The production function is as follows: 3 2/3 1/3 f(x,x2) a) Present the problem of maximization of the company. b) Find the first order condition that must be solved to find the optimal level of supplies. c) Find the optimal input level x1 that the company must contract in the above problem to maximize your profits.
You manage two chocolate factories. Using only these two factories, you must produce exactly 420 kgs of chocolate daily at lowest possible cost. Mathematically, you have: Q1 = Quantity produced at Chocolate Factory #1 Q2 = Quantity produced at Chocolate Factory #2 Daily total overall production: Q1 – Q2 = 420 At present, each factory produces half the overall requirement. This means that Q1 = 210, Q2 = 210 a) Following your logic , you realize that as long as the marginal cost is different between the two factories, you can lower overall cost while maintaining production at 420 kgs. So, to reduce the overall cost to the lowest possible, you decide to move more than 1 kilogram from one factory to another. As a result, each factory will produce a different quantity of chocolate while the overall daily production remains at 420 kgs. To minimize overall cost, how many kilograms will you order/instruct Factory #1 to produce? Q1 = ____________kgs And how many kilograms would you…
a) Derive the goods market demand curve in terms of the output (Y) and the exogenousvariables:c0,c1,b0,b1,g0,g1andT. Show your work for full credit. b)Draw the Goods Market Equilibrium. Be sure to label all curves, label the equilibrium point, and label the slope of each curve. c)Solve for the equilibrium output (Y) in terms of the exogenous variables:c0,c1,b0,b1,g0,g1andT. Show your work for full credit. d)Supposeg1increases, but stillc1+b1+g1<1. Using a graph of the goods market, show how we would represent an increase in the value ofg1on equilibrium output y. Be sure to label all axes, curves, and equilibrium points. e)Suppose instead,c1+b1+g1= 0. Is the equilibrium in the goods market still possible? If so, what is the equilibrium output? You must explain your answer to receive full credit.
Assume you own a copper mine. The mine has total known reserves of 500 (million metric tons). The market demand for the copper is estimated to be: P = -1.75Q + 1000 and the marginal cost curve is estimated to be: P = 1.25Q + 100. What is the efficient quantity of copper to extract if you need only consider the current period in your decision making? Assume you need to consider allocation of the mine’s resources across two periods of time—the present and the future. Assume the “future” period is 10 years from the present and you use a discount rate 7.5%. What would be the efficient (inter-temporal) allocation of the mine’s resources in each period? What would be the price in each period if demand is constant across time?
"There is no such things as free lunch" means that a) Money costs are always present when one acquires or does somethin. b) You always have to pay the tab c) You have no choices d) Choices are present and a real cost incurred when a choice is made e) non of the above is true.
A gardener is trying to maximize profit by growing tomatoes (T) and carrots(C) with fertilizer(F). The production functions are: Tomatoes: T = 70F₁ - 1.5F-² Carrots: C = 90Fc - 2Fc² Constraint: FT + Fc = 60 The profit is $0.50 per tomato and $0.25 per carrot. There are 60 units of fertilizer available. How much fertilizer should go to the tomatoes?
Opportunity cost refers to A) explicit costs+ implicit costs B) Time costs C) Money costs D) None of the above
