QUESTION 1 For the production function Q = K0.1L0.1 and the budget 124 = 5K + 2L find the NEW LEVEL in the optimal employment of capital (K) after wages change by a factor of 0.5 while maintaining the same level of output. Please enter your response as a positive number with 1 decimal and 5/4 rounding (e.g. 1.15 = 1.2, 1.14 = 1.1).

QUESTION 1 For the production function Q = KO.2L0.1 and the budget 133 = 7K + 5L find the optimal employment of L. Please enter your response as a positive number with 1 decimal and 5/4 rounding (e.g. 1.15 1.2, 1.14 = 1.1).
Suppose we have one consumer with a Cobb Douglas utility function for consumption, x, and leisure, R : u(x, R) = a ln a+(1-a) In R. The consumer is endowed with one unit of labor/leisure and there is one firm with a constant-returns to scale technology: a = aL. Determine r(p, w) and R(p, w).
Given a demand function of P = 119 - 7Qd and supply of P = 38 + 4Qs, the utility function U = Qx0.4Qy(1-0.4) and the consumer budget Income = 5Qx + 6Qy along with the firm production function Q = K0.4L0.6 with the isocost 224 = 23K + 13L. The economic growth factor is 1.8. What is the total utility of HH given the level of factor income? Please enter your response as a positive number with 1 decimal and 5/4 rounding (e.g. 1.15 = 1.2, 1.14 = 1.1).
QUESTION 1 For the production function Q= KO.4L0.6 and the budget 138 = 3K + 5L find the change in the optimal employment of L after wages change by a factor of 1.3. Please enter your response as a positive number with 1 decimal and 5/4 rounding (e.g. 1.15 = 1.2, 1.14 = 1.1).
Consider the one-period economy discussed in class. The consumer maximizes a well- behaved utility function U(C, 1) subject to the budget constraint and where leisure is such that l = h - N. Capital is fixed. Firms choose labour to maximise profits subject to the technological constraint Y = zF(K, Nd), where F(K, Nd) is well behaved. Moreover, suppose that to finance the government spending G, the government imposes a tax on firm labour 7 and acquires a lump-sum tax T from the consumer. That is, the firm pays Tw units of consumption goods to the government for each unit of labour and the consumer pays T units of consumption goods. There are no other tax instruments. (a) (10 points) Write down the firm's problem and its first order condition. (b) (15 points) Study the effect of the introduction of the tax on firm labour and provide an economic interpretation. Hint: to study this effect plot the labour demand curves when 7 = 0 and when T > 0 (c) (10 points) Define a competitive…
