Consider the production function: Y = A. K0.8 N0.2 with A = 5, K = 400, N = 3000 (a) What is the level of output produced in this economy? (b) What is the Marginal Product of Labour? (c) What is the Marginal Product of Capital? (d) A unit of output sells for $100? The nominal interest rate is 5%, the expected inflation rate is 3%, the depreciation rate is 13%, and the population growth rate is 2%. If a unit of capital costs $5,000, is the capital market in equilibrium. If not, is there too much or too little capital?

Blake&Sons run a business of manufacturing animal trackers in Lansing, Michigan. It employs a total of 60 workers for $30 per hour wage rate. Expenses incurred on materials including metal and wiring sum up to $2800. Miscellaneous costs like energy and infrastructure are half of material costs.In January, the firm produced 10,000 trackers, with each employee working for 10 hours. If each tracker is sold for $20, find the following:a) Labor productivity per hourb) Labor productivity per dollarc) Multifactor productivity (Output income)d) Multifactor productivity (Output units)
Constant returns to scale is the point on a production function where increasing inputs will no longer increase output. True False 00

Suppose that the production function of a firm is given by Y = AK'/2L'/2, where A = 1 and L = 100. Suppose further that the price of the capital good (P) is 5, the price of the final output good (P) is 2, and the real interest rate is 0.1, and the depreciation rate is 0.1. 1. What is the replacement cost of the installed capital? 2. Suppose currently we have K = 64. Calculate the market value of the installed capital (as- sume that both A and L remain at the current values in the future). What is the value of Tobin's q? Should the firm increase or decrease its capital stock? 3. What is the optimal level of capital? What is the value of Tobin's q under the optimal level of capital? 4. Suppose that there has been a large inflow of migration, so L jumped to 144. What is the new optimal level of capita?
