Widget factory Inc. in Wisconsin has the following production function: F(L,K) = 2L/2 K/2 L represent the number of labour hours. Workers at this factory are paid an hourly wage of $30 and they rent capital at $25/hour. Since this is a competitive market, the factory output the factory gets per is output is $50 per unit. Let's pretend the firm operates in the short run with capital fixed at 900, how many factory workers would Widget Factory Inc employ? What is their profit rate? Question 3.
What is task definition (as a situational variable)?Give an example of how it can influence theconsumption process.

QUESTION 12 A research study published in Social Science Medicine. "Production Functions for General Hospitals," estimated the following general hospital production function in the Netherlands: Q = 5*Staf 24+Beds 64Drugs 04:5pecialists 02, where Qis a measure used by the authors for patient care. Suppose a hospital currently utilizes the following inputs: Staff=10, Beds = 100, Drugs = 50, Specialists =10. Use a spreadsheet to find the following. If the hospital increases its specialists by one (1), that is, employs an 11th specialist, the increase in Q (marginal product) will be: O A. 1.23. O B. 96. OC. 83. OD. 49. O E. 31. QUESTION 13 A study published in Social Science Medicine, "Production Functions for General Hospitals," estimated the following general hospital production function: Q = 5*Staff 34-Beds 64xDrugs 04Specialits 02, where Q is a measure used by the authors for patient care. If we increase all inputs by 1%. the percentage change in Q will be: O A.5.0 O B. 1.04. OC 3.3.…
The amount of fish caught per week on a trawler is a function of the crew size assigned to operate the boat. The following table shows the total and marginal products of labor for a trawler.

Suppose that a rock star gives concerts. The production function of the concert is the following: Q(C, A,G) = (C – 10)/ªAª/4G+/4 where C represents hourly contribution of guitarist Chris; A represents hourly contribution of guitarist Ataman and G represents hourly contribution of guitarist George.
Jenni owns a cooking school that specializes in seafood. Jenni has a limited supply of kitchen space for her instructors to use for lessons. As a result, each successive instructor adds less to Jenni's output of lessons. Cooking lessons cost $35 per hour. The table below shows, for each successive instructor, Jenni's output quantity, marginal product of labor, and value of marginal product. The VMP was found by multiplying the additional number of cooking lessons each additional worker provided (MPL) by $35, which was the price per lesson.
