As a manufacturer of hats, you are producing 10 hats using 16 capital and 7 labour. The price of capital is $ 10 and the price of labour is $20. The price of labour decreases to $10. What is the new cost of producing 10 units if (a) you do not have time to adjust your capital and (b) if you have sufficient time to make adjust your capital. What will be the cost of hats if you maintain your budget and produce more hats? Capital 30 28 26 24 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 10 M 16 10 18 20 30 40 Labour

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?
Assuming the firm is minimizing its cost and the price of labour is $10 per unit and the price of capital is $20 per unit. the marginal product of labour is 50, what must the marginal product of capital be?
Ma4. A firm produces output with the production function, Q = F(K, L) = K0.5L0.5 with r=4 and w= 2. The firm is using K=16 and just enough L to produce 16 units of output in the short run. How much could the firm save if it were producing 16 units in the long run?
a.)Suppose that labor is the only variable input in the production process. If the marginal cost of production is diminishing as more units of output are produced, what can you say about the marginal product of labor?b.)What are economies of scale? What are economies of scope? What is the difference between the two?
Consider a production process where flowers are grown (the output) using gardeners (labor) and greenhouses (capital). The quantity of flowers grown per day with various combinations of labor and capital are shown in the table below. Suppose that each gardener is paid $200 per day and the greenhouse is rented for $500 per day. Fill in total cost in the table below. (Enter your responses as integers.)
