- A small company that shovels sidewalks and driveways has 100 homes signed up for its services this winter. It can use various combinations of capital and labor: intensive labor with hand shovels, less labor with snow blowers, and still less labor with a pickup truck that has a snowplow on front. To summarize, the method Choices are: Method 1: 50 units of labor, 10 units of capital Method 2: 20 units of labor, 40 units of capital Method 3: 10 units of labor, 70 units of capital If hiring labor for the winter costs $100/unit and a unit of capital costs 400, what is the best production method? What method should the company use if the cost of labor rises to $20/unit?If two painters can paint 200 square feet of wall in an hour, and three painters can paint 275 square feet, what is the marginal product of the third painter?104. The price of capital is $12 per machine-hour and the price of labor is $3 per hour. Below are production schedules for a firm showing the possible combinations of capital and labor that will produce 100 units of output. Which combination will this cost-minimizing firm choose? A) Labor: 20 B) Labor: 10 C) Labor: 5 D) Labor: 4 A. Choice A B. Choice B C. Choice C D. Choice D Capital: 5 Capital: 10 Capital: 20 Capital: 25 MPL: 5 MPL: 10 MPL: 20 MPL: 25 MPK: 20 MPK: 10 MPK: 5 MPK: 4

Understanding the least-cost rule Alex runs a surfing school on the North Shore of Oahu. He has two inputs: surfboards, which he rents from a local shop for $10 per day, and surfing instructors, whom he hires for $50 per day. Alex has figured out that the marginal physical product (MPP) of the last instructor hired is 15 lessons, and the MPP of the last board used is 2 lessons. Which of the following statements is correct? a. Alex could lower his costs without reducing his output if he employed fewer instructors and used more surfboards. b. Any of these answers may be right, depending on the price of a lesson. c. Alex currently employs a cost-minimizing combination of surfboards and instructors. d.

- b. The Yorkshire Cricket Company makes cricket bats out of lumber supplied to it by Acme Sporting Goods, which pays Yorkshire £10 for each finished bat. Yorkshire's only factors of production are lathe operators and a small building with a lathe.

(ii) What would be the profit-maximising number of bats if the firm's fixed cost were not £60 per day but only £30? (iii) How would Yorkshire's profit-maximising level of output be affected if the government imposed a tax of £10 per day on the company? (Hint: This tax independent from the production level.)
