Consider the following diagram of the per-worker production function (output per worker as a function of capital per worker) Production function Capital equipment per worker (S thousands) Which 2 of the following statements are correct? Select one or more: O a. The higher capital per worker is, the higher the marginal product of capital is. O b. The diagram is consistent with the diminishing marginal product of capital. Oc. When workers have less capital, an increase in capital per worker has much more impact than when they already have a lot. O d. The slope of a tangent to the curve shows the marginal product of labour Output per worker (S thousands)

Output per worker ($ thousands) 0 Select one or more: 0 Capital equipment per worker ($ thousands) Which TWO of the following statements are correct? O a. The slope of the function is the marginal product of capital. b. The figure shows that each extra $ of capital per worker raises output per worker by an equal amount. ✔ C. The function is "convex" (L.e. it has a slope which increases as capital per worker rises). Od. The figure shows that higher capital per worker increases output per worker. Production function
a. Based on only the first-order condition with respect to labor computed in part a (Based on the given Lagrangian, compute the representative consumer's first-order conditions with respect to consumption and with respect to labor). Qualitatively sketch two things in a diagram with the real wage on the vertical axis and labor on the horizontal axis. First, the general shape of the relation ship between w and n (perfectly vertical, perfectly horizontal, upward-sloping, downward-sloping, or impossible to tell). Second, how changes in / affect the relationship (shift it outward, shift it in inward, or impossible to determine). Briefly describe the economics of how you obtained your conclusions. (Note: In this question you are not to use the first-order condition with respect to consump tion nor any other conditions.) b. Now based on both of the two first-order conditions computed in part a, construct the consumption-leisure optimality condition. Clearly present the important steps and…
