Precisely state the definition of MPL and the formula you are using to compute it. 2.2 Suppose the real wage W/P is equal to 0.4. What is the optimal level of labor? Motivate your answer in detail. 2.3 Graph the output as a function of labor units. What is the graphical interpretation of MPL and why? Explain and interpret your answer. 2.4 Do you think decreasing MPL is an assumption that fits the reality in most cases? Motivate your answer by presenting a case in the real world of a firm or a business model characterized by decreasing MPL (if you think it is a valid assumption) or increasing or constant MPL (if you want to present an example for which this assumption is not valid). 2. 4.

xt:Bong-Cha is deciding what to do during the 30-minute break between her college classes. One rule she could follow is, "Choose the activity with the highest value" (A). Another rule she could follow is, "Choose the activity with the lowest opportunity cost" (B). Do you think Bong-Cha's choice if she follows rule (A) will be the same as the choice she would make if she followed rule (B)? [another way to think about it, "Is rule (A) identical to rule (B) in a sense that they would both induce the same choice?"].

Question One a) The University of the East Europe is interested in the overall performance of its students in the academic year 2020/2021. There were 1460 students registered for this academic year. The University decides to select a sample of 150 students from each of the 5 faculties- Science, Medicine, Law, Social Science and Humanities in proportion to the number of students in each faculty. Identify the population of interest for this scenario. ii. i. Identify the sampling technique used by the researcher. State one advantage and one disadvantage of the sampling technique described in the given scenario.

Each term (3 months) the current group of economics students completed a questionnaire as to how much they would spend on new purchases compared to how much they would save/pay off bills, if they suddenly and unexpectedly received a check for $1,000. The average MPC is shown in the table below. Month in which student poll was taken Average of students’ responses as MPC March 0.41 June 0.30 September 0.22 December 0.56 What do these MPC’s imply about the students’ thinking over the course of the year?

10.61 The per-store daily customer count (i.e., the mean number of customers in a store in one day) for a nationwide convenience store chain that operates nearly 10,000 stores has been steady, at 900, for some time. To increase the customer count, the chain is considering cutting prices for coffee beverages. The question to be determined is how much to cut prices to increase the daily customer count without reducing the gross margin on coffee sales too much. You decide to carry out an experiment in a sample of 24 stores where customer counts have been running almost exactly at the national average of 900. In 6 of the stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.59, in 6 stores the price of a small coffee will now be $0.69, in 6 stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.79, and in 6 stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.89. After four weeks of selling the coffee at the new price, the daily customer count in the stores was recorded and stored in . At the 0.05…
