Based on this, you can say that TP is rate, and APL must be at a. increasing; a decreasing; increasing b. increasing; a decreasing; decreasing c. increasing; an increasing; decreasing d. decreasing; a decreasing; decreasing e. decreasing; increasing; increasing

No written by hand solution and image There have been suggestions that the "work ethic" in the U.S. has declined. The claim is that, as a result, people are choosing to work fewer hours (at a given wage rate and level of unearned income) than did individuals in the past. This can be indicated by changes in individuals' indifference curves. Show such a change in indifference curves on graph with the consumption good on the Y-axis and leisure on the X-axis. How does the slope of the indifference curve change at a given level of leisure? (It may be useful to draw a simple budget constraint to indicate the change in hours of work.) Show such a change in indifference curves on graph with the consumption good on the Y-axis and leisure on the X-axis. How does the slope of the indifference curve change at a given level of leisure? (It may be useful to draw a simple budget constraint to indicate the change in hours of work.)
True or False 1. If leisure and consumption are normal goods, the labor supply curve is more likely to be backward bending when the consumer views leisure and consumption to be more substitutable for one another.
Explain how time inconsistency accounts for procrastination.

The following picture represents a production function after an increase in total factor productivity z. What marginal happens to the product of labor? Y=zF(K,N) Labor (N) O It increases O It decreases O It increases from some levels of labor, it decreases for some others O Not enough information
Suppose that production function of certain devices is determined by: q = k * L - 0.8 k2 - 0.2 L2 Where q represents annual quantity of devices produced, k represents annual quantity of capital factor, and L represents annual quantity of labor factor. (a) Suppose k = 10; draw a graph with average and total labor productivity. What is level of labor (L) factor at which average productivity reaches a maximum? How many devices are produced at that point? (b) Assuming again that k = 10, plot Marginal Product (MP) curve. At what level do we have that labor (L) factor is MP = 0? (c) Suppose capital (k) factor were to increase to k = 20. How would your previous answers change?
In the theory of consumer, we argued that the utility is ordinal, that is, utility number does not have any intrinsic meaning other than to give a preference ordering among consumption bundles. In other words, any increasing monotone transformation of a utility function represents the same preference, hence the spacing between indifference curves does not have any significance. Explain why in the theory of producer, the production function and the corresponding isoquant is a cardinal property, that is, the number itself has an intrinsic meaning. And explain the relationship between returns to scale and space between isoquants.
