Consider one-person one producer economy. Compute the equilibrium prices, consumptions, and profits when the consumer's utility function is given by U(x, y) = Inx + y where y denotes leisure. The production function is given by f(z) = z^2/3 and z denotes labor, total endowment of time is 1. Find consumptions for x and y

Reproduce the diagram for the Robinson Crusoe economy for a firm that has constant returns to scale. Under what conditions will it be ancient for the firm not to produce? What is the consumption level of the consumer in such a case? Provide an interpretation of this possibility.
A Firm's Optimization with CES Production Function The Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) production function is a flexible way to describe how a firm combines capital and labor to produce output, allowing for different levels of substitutability between the two inputs. The elasticity of substitution, denoted by σ, measures how easily the firm can substitute capital for labor (or vice versa) while maintaining the same output level. The parameter p is related to the elasticity of substitution by the formula σ = 1/(1 - p). Now, let's consider a firm that operates for two periods (t and t + 1) and produces output according to the CES production function: F(Kt, Nt) = [aK{ + (1 − a)N]¹º 0
If the production function describing an economy is Y= 20 KL23, then the share of income going to capital: O is about 33 percent. O depends on the state of technology. is about 67 percent. depends on the quantities of labor and capital.
Suppose a firm uses a single input to produce a single output according to a production function f(x) = 10√x where x is the number of units of input. The output initially sells for £120 per unit. The input costs £20 per unit. A change in the market causes the product price to increase from £120 per unit to £200 per unit, all else equal. How does this change in product price affect the firm's profit maximizing level of profits? a. Profits increase by £16,000 Ob. Profits do not change Profits increase by £8,000 d. None of the other answers is correct Profits increase by £9,000 f. Profits increase by £18,000 g. Profits increase by £50,000 h. Profits increase by £32,000 C. e.

The production function is f(x1, x2) = x1/21x1/22. If the price of factor 1 is $6 and the price of factor 2 is $12, in what proportions should the firm use factors 1 and 2 if it wants to maximize profits? Question 21 Answer a. x1 = 12x2. b. x 1 = x2. c. x1 = 2x2. d. We can't tell without knowing the price of the output. e. x1 = 0.50x2.
You produce shoes (Q) with labor (L) and capital (K). The production process is as so: Q = 400L - 20L2 + 600K – 10K2 The cost of labor is $20 and the cost of capital is $30. You have a budget of $550. How many units of capital(K) should you rent/buy? Enter as a value.
Suppose that the economy's production function is given by Y=K²N¹-a where Y is output, K is capital, and N is labor. Assume that a = 1/3. The production function transformed into output per worker is (Property format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcuts.

Suppose that a unit of capital costs three times as much as a unit of labor.If a firm currently has a technology such that MPK =50, MPL =30, how should this firm adjust its capital and labor choices?
Suppose we have one consumer with a Cobb Douglas utility function for consumption, x, and leisure, R : u(x, R) = a ln a+(1-a) In R. The consumer is endowed with one unit of labor/leisure and there is one firm with a constant-returns to scale technology: a = aL. Determine r(p, w) and R(p, w).
