As the manager of Lewis Inc., a company that produces lamps, you conducted a study of the production process. The study was based on 8 units of capital currently used by your firm. (This is the short run in which capital is fixed.) Per unit capital costs are $20 and the price of lamps is $12 each (this is a competitive market). Workers at Lewis Inc. are paid $60 per labor unit. (You can think of one unit of labor as one worker, and each worker is paid $60.) Fill in the blanks in the following table. Hint: Please follow Table 1 on page 364 of the textbook.

A pizzeria, which operates in a perfectly competitive hospitality market, can produce pizzas if it has its premises and a pizza oven (which cost £10 per night), ingredients (£3 per pizza), and workers (each of whom earn £40 per night). The number of pizzas that can be produced per night, depending on the number of workers employed by the pizzeria, is given in the following table: Workers employed 1 2 3 4 Pizzas per night 20 36 48 56 60 HINT: In the following, you willI be asked to draw curves in diagrams based on the above table. In each diagram, please proceed as follows: First, place a dot in the diagram, each representing a column in the table. Second, label each dot with its coordinates.

On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 30 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 6 versus 5 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced is________. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 12 versus 11 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced. The marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced is_________.

Joe decided to quit his computer-programming job (where he was earning $48,000 per year) to start his own software business. For his office, Joe will use a two-story building that he bought 7 years ago for $250,000. The building is located in Hyde Park (South side of Chicago) in an area where a lot of recent construction has taken place, so the market price for the land has increased. You are given the following information about the costs of his firm: Joe will pay himself a wage of: Maintenance and insurance Revenue Land's salvage (resale) value Risk-free interest rate $18,000 per year $30,240 per year $96,000 per year $395,000 4.75% annually Assume for simplicity that all taxes are equal to zero. Calculate the economicannual profits of this firm (you can assume that investing the money at the risk-free rate is its best alternative use).
Consider a small landscaping company run by Mr. Viemeister. He is considering increasing his firm’s capacity. If he adds one more worker, the firm’s total monthly revenue will increase from $50,000 to $62,000. If he adds one more tractor, monthly revenue will increase from $50,000 to $58,000. Each additional worker costs $4,000 per month, while an additional tractor would also cost $4,000 per month. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. a. What is the marginal revenue product of labor? $ The marginal revenue product of capital? $ b. What is the ratio of the marginal revenue product of labor to the price of labor (MRPL/PL)? : What is the ratio of the marginal revenue product of capital to the price of capital (MRPC/PC)? :
4 total cost is c(4, r, q) 5 total 75. If Firm A has constant marginal cost, and input prices double to 2r and 2w, how much will it cost to produce q 6 units of output (what is c(6, 2r, 2w))? (HINT: First calculate the marginal cost for c(q, r, w), then calculate c(6, r, w), and then calculate c(6, 2r, 2w)) = Firm A has cost function c(q, r, w). At output q = cost is c(5,r, q) ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) = 90 ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) = 150 c(6, 2r, 2w) O c(6, 2r, 2w) = 180 - = - 75 160 = 60, and at output q -
(This is a single question with five parts to the answer. I would appreciate help with all five parts if possible. Image screenshot of the original question with the formulas more easily readable than can be identified here is attached) Tech firms produce goods and services from labor and energy. The total cost in dollars to produce y amount of goods and services for each firm j is cj(yj) = yi2. There are 100 identical tech firms which all behave competitively. What is the individual supply of technological goods and services? What is the market supply of technological goods and services? Suppose the demand curve for these goods is D(p)=200-50p. What is the equilibrium price and quantity sold? How much is the total surplus of this economy? Now suppose that the industry makes a one-time investment for $K amount of dollars to innovate in a new technology of production that allows every firm to reduce its cost of production to a 1/4 fraction of the previous cost. What is the new total…
