Question 1 The small economy of Pizzania produces three goods (bread, cheese and pizza), each produced by a separate company. The bread and cheese companies produce all the inputs they need to make bread and cheese, respectively. The pizza company uses the bread and cheese from the other companies to make its pizzas. All three companies employ labor to help produce their goods, and the difference between the value of goods sold and the sum of labor and input costs is the firm's profit. Bread and cheese produced are sold both to the pizza company for inputs in the production of pizzas and to consumers as final goods. The table below summarizes the activities of the three companies. Cost of Inputs Wages Total Revenue Bread Company $0 $25 $100 Cheese Company $0 $30 $60 Pizza Company $50 (bread) $35 (cheese) $75 $200 Calculate the GDP of Pizzania via value added.

You run a factory that uses pottery wheels to make pots. You can hire anywhere between 1 and 3 skilled artisans (workers), and you can rent 1 or 2 pottery wheels (machines). Pots sell for $125 each. The total product of your factory is shown in the following table. Number of Machines (Capital, K) 1 Pottery wheels are 2 1 8 10 Number of Workers (Labor, L) 2 11 14 3 13 17 Suppose you rent one machine and hire one worker. You would be willing to pay $ to hire a 2nd worker. (Consider the value of the marginal product of labor.) Suppose you rent one machine and hire one worker. You would be willing to pay a rental rate of up to $ Suppose the wage is $350. If you have one pottery wheel, the number of workers you would want to hire is to acquire a 2nd machine. (Consider the value of the marginal product of capital.)
Q1). Suppose the labor market is initially at its equilibrium, i.e., the labor supplied equals the labor demanded. Now suppose IBM develops a new computer chip that makes computer incredibly faster. Explain and show graphically how the arrival of a new, more productive technology affects the labor market. Draw the full graph and provide a detailed explanation of the effect. Label the axes/curves, explain why either the aggregate labor demand curve or the aggregate labor supply curve shifts and describe the economic mechanism that moves the economy from the old to the new equilibrium.
1. (Textbook problem 2, page 103) An economy has the production function Y=0.2(K+√N). In the current period, K = 100 and N = 100. a. Graph the relationship between output and capital, holding labor constant at its current value. b. What is the marginal product of capital? c. Does the marginal product of capital diminish? d. Graph the relationship between output and labor, holding capital constant at its current value. e. Does the marginal productivity of labor diminish?
Consider a company operating in a competitive market. The company sells units of output and receives a price of $30 per unit, and pays a daily market wage of $285 to each worker it employs. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Value of the Marginal Product of Labor Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Units of output) (Dollars) WAGE (Dollars per worker) 500 450 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm's labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) 400 Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the value of the marginal product for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate…
