Q5. A bicycle manufacturer in China currently employs 40 production workers and five supervisors and produces . The marginal product of the last production worker employed is 60 units of output per hour, and production workers are paid 50 CNY per hour. The marginal product of the last supervisor employed is 120 units of output per hour, and supervisors are paid 80 CNY per hour. i. If the firm produced 2,100 bicycles per month before the last production worker was hired, how many bicycles does it produce now? ii. Assume that the firm's isoquants are smooth curves and that labor hours can be varied continuously. Is the firm producing the maximum level of bicycles given its current level of cost? Explain why or why not. If it isn't, explain what it should do to increase output.
What is the technological difference between straight line and strictly concave production curves? Show and explain.
Y=10.KO.5 L0.5 K starts at 500, L at 50, Investment 0.10Y, Depreciation 0.05K An alien invasion leads to a reduction in labour to 25 but no capital is damaged. What happens to the marginal product of labour? Increase O stays the same Decrease
Question 1: Consider the following production function that depends only on labor:Q = 81¹/2 1. Write a combination of input and output that are technically efficient. In other words, for what level of L and Q, is the technology efficient? 2. Write a combination of input and output that are technically inefficient. In other words, for what level of L and Q, is the technology inefficient? 3. Write a combination of input and output that are technically unattainable. In other words, for what level of I and Q, is the technology unattainable?
Fishyland is a small country that focuses on her fishing industry. She has a production function of Y = 60L0.4K 0.6 . where L is labour and K is capital. a. Calculate the real wage rate of labor. b. Suppose the World Bank grants more fishing tools to Fishyland. From the answer in (a), will a typical labor in Fishyland benefit from this? Explain.
Based on your understanding, does additional input of Labor entails a steady increase in the output of a firm? Why or Why not? Support your answer using the concept of production
Consider the following production diagram: 12 10 A Capital 6 2 0 0 1 Labor 4 For each of the five labeled points (A, B, C, D, and E), determine whether the correct levels of labor and capital are being used. If the correct level is not being used, explain why, and what change should be made. Hint: Start by identifying the optimal point. Being able to compare to the optimal point will assist you in determining the changes that need to be made.
Discuss the concept of production theory. Relate it to goals of minimizing the loss and maximizing profitability

A firm can use three different production technologies, with capital and labor requirements at each level of output as follows: Technology 1 Technology 2 Technology 3 Daily Output 100 150 200 250 K 6 6 7 8 L 10 13 14 16 K 7 789 L 8 10 11 13 K 8 8 9 10 L 7 8 9 11 Suppose the firm is operating in a high-wage country, where capital cost is $110 per unit per day and labor cost is $90 per worker per day. For each level of output, which technology is cheapest? At 100 units of output, is the least expensive.
