marginal cost and
economics: LO3
a. The unemployment rate in the United States
was 5.0% in April 2008.
b. A U.S. software firm discharged 15 work-
ers last month and transferred the work to
India.
C. An unexpected freeze in central Florida
reduced the citrus crop and caused the price
of oranges to rise.
d. U.S. output, adjusted for inflation, grew by
2.2% in 2007.
e. Last week Wells Fargo Bank lowered its
interest rate on business loans by one-half
of 1 percentage point.
Based on Figure 1, choose the right statement. Assume that cloth is the labor-
intensive commodity and that corn is the capital-intensive commodity.
1) The qutput of cloth less than doubled because of lack of enough demand.
O 2) The output of cloth less than doubled because capital is not used in the cloth
production.
O 3)
The output of cloth less than doubled because labor is the only factor of
production.
.O
4)
The output of cloth less than doubled because only labor increased.

- You said that "this may result in a steeper AS curve due to the fact that firms can produce more output for a given price level.". However, I think that steeper AS without the change of y-intercept(shift) will have opposite effect. I drew a diagram to compare different As curves with same y intercept and different slopes. It is clear that for same level; of price level, steeper AS has loer output (Y2) than faltter AS (Y1), could u please explain it for me?

- Can a firm have a production function that exhibits increasing returns to scale, constant returns to scale, and decreasing returns to scale as output increases? Discuss. O A. No. The functional form of the production technology dictates the type of returns to scale it exhibits. While a production function can exhibit both increasing returns and constant returns to scale at different levels of output, increasing returns and decreasing returns to scale are mutually exclusive. O B. Yes. At low levels of output, specialization leads to increasing returns to scale. Once specialization has been exhausted, proportional increases in all inputs lead to constant returns to scale. And finally, for large scale operations, logistical and bureaucratic problems can lead to decreasing returns to scale. O C. No. The functional form of the production technology dictates the type of returns to scales it exhibits, and there will only be one of the three types of returns to scale exhibited throughout the…arrow_forward(Only answer number 2 but use the info from number 1 on an excel file to show formulas used)arrow_forwardConsider a small landscaping company run by Mr. Viemeister.
