Making dresses is a labor-intensive process. Indeed, the production function of a dressmaking firm is well described by the equation Q = L − L2∕800, where Q denotes the number of dresses per week and L is the number of labor hours per week. The firm’s additional cost of hiring an extra hour of labor is about $20 per hour (wage plus fringe benefits). The firm faces the fixed selling price, P = $40. Over the next two years, labor costs are expected to be unchanged, but dress prices are expected to increase to $50. What effect will this have on the firm’s optimal output? A- Increase B- Decrease C- No Effect
Ali Receives Utility From (D)omestic Vaccines from Kayseri, and the Sinovac Vaccine-(F)oreign. The utility structure is U(D,F)=D x F. The price of the foreign vaccine because of increasing returns to scale is $200, whereas at its earlier stages, the domestic vaccine is produced at a higher cost, and higher price of $250. The government has given each and every citizen a fixed payment of $8000 to spend just on vaccines, but it has not specified which vaccines. a- Does Ali Solve the Utility Maximization Question in an interior equilibrium or a corner solution? How do you know? What condition does the interior equilibrium necessitate regardless. b- Find Ali's Utility Maximizing Level of Domestic and Foreign Vaccines when he uses just the government allowance on vaccines? What is his utility level? C- Suppose the government wants to decrease Turkey's health exports. It pushes a vaccine subsidy, just for domestic vaccines that makes the price of domestic equal to $160. How does the utility…
For the operator of a movie theater, the marginal cost (MC) of admitting one more person to the theater is zero. True or False? Why?
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?
Scenario and activity: Managerial economics helps in estimating the product demand, planning of production schedule, deciding the input combinations, estimation of cost of production, achieving economies of scale and increasing the returns to scale. It also includes determining price of the product, analyzing market structure to determine the price of the product for profit maximization, which helps them to control and plan capital in an effective manner. Successful mangers make good decisions, and one of their most useful tools is the methodology of managerial economics. Mr Kevin Buffett, the renowned chairman and CEO of Bedfordshire Companies, invested $100 and went on to accumulate a personal net worth of $30 billion. Buffett credits his success to a basic understanding of managerial economics. Buffett's success is a powerful testimony Managerial economics has a very important role to play by helping managements in successful decision making and forward planning. To discharge his…
Please see how I've responded to the 2 questions below...Do you concur are am I off track here. What will the dollar amount of economic gain or economic loss be? The amount of loss would be Quantity*(ATC-Price)= 9*(17.5-16)=$13.5 What will be the price and quantity where the firm will shut down? Price where there is not able to recover average variable cost in the market. Shut down price is $12 and Quantity is 7 units
Question #4. Parker County is considering reestablishing bobcats in a number of local parks. The cats are known predators of small pets and livestock, but also an important predator for controlling certain rodent and small mammal populations. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has conducted both a statewide and county level contingent valuation survey. They found that the local (county level) marginal willingness to pay represented by the equation: MWTP= -.4Q+130. The DEC found the statewide marginal willingness to pay represented by the equation: MWTP= -0.9Q+400. Further, the DEC has estimated an aggregate marginal cost of establishing and maintain the bobcats to be MC= 0.5Q+30. What would be the efficient population of bobcats if only the local willingness to pay was considered? What would be the net benefits to local people if this population was maintained? What would be the efficient population of bobcats if only the statewide willingness…
Q (F) Suppose the inverse demand curve on ore is given by P = X - 0.67 Q. Ore can be either mined or obtained through a recycling program. The marginal cost of mining is MC1 = 6 q1. The marginal cost of obtaining ore through recycling is MC2 = 96 + 2 q2. What should be a maximum value of X so that recycling is NOT cost-effective?
Suppose the inverse demand curve in a market is D(p) =a-bp, where D(p) is the quantity demanded and p is the market price. Firm 1 is the leader and has a cost function c1(y1)=cy1 while firm 2 is the follower with a cost function c2(y2 )= y^22/2 (picture attached). Firm 1 sets its price to maximise its profit. Firm 1 correctly forecasts that the follower takes the price leader’s chosen price as given (price taker) and chooses output so as to maximise its own profit. Write down the profit function of the follower. Calculate the profit maximising quantity that the follower selects given the leader’s chosen price p (i.e., calculate the follower’s supply curve S(p)). Interpret the solution to the profit maximising problem. The leader is facing the residual demand curve R(p)=D(p)-S(p) with D(p) and S(p) as defined in (c) above. Calculate the leader’s residual demand curve using the result in (c). Solve for p as a function of the leader’s output y1, i.e. the inverse demand function facing…
5. Suppose the economy consists of a representative agent with the following utility function: P U = Cα ( M )1−α. Labor is supplied exogenously at level L¯. Output is sup- plied by a perfectly competitive representative firm, which has production function Y = Lη . Any profits are remitted to the representative agent. There is a government, which purchases amount G of goods and services. This amount is financed by a lump-sum tax, of level T and seigniorage. Money is the only asset in the economy; initial money holdings are given by M l. Money is supplied exogenously by the government. Assume both prices and wages are flexible. (a) Write down the consumer’s and the firm’s intertemporal maximiza- tion problems. (b) Solve for expressions for aggregate demand and supply (that is, out- put as a function of the price…
