Explanation of Solution

The political reaction is unpleasant for this project.

  • The S plant can produce power even when there is no sun because this plant collects the heat when sun is present and stored heat is finally converted into electricity when it is required. This process is done with the help of mirrors.
  • With the rise in demand for electricity, the importance of plant is increasing, but the political reaction is unpleasant for this project as it is proved very difficult to invest in this project as many cities seems to be against the ones who provides loan.
  • The government subsidies and the government policies will tell whether the decision of setting the plant is valid or not. The investment on the road and school project is desired. Therefore, this investment will be considered even if fiscal deficit is present.
  • Therefore, from the case it can be concluded that the work, which is to be performed by S is done in very appropriate manner, as it have even generated employment.

2. A firm’s production function is given by:Q = 10KLThe unit capital and labour costs are 2 and 1 pounds respectively. The firm is contracted to produce2000 units.(a) Write out the optimisation problem of the firm. (b) Express this problem using a Lagrangian function. (c) Find values of K and L which fulfil the contract with minimal cost to the firm. (d) Calculate the total cost to the firm.
3. Consider the following estimated regression equation, estimated using a sample of firms, where RDis total firm spending on research and development in USD ($), Revenue is total firm revenuein USD ($), and W ages is the firms’ total spending on wages in USD ($) (standard errors inparentheses):RDd = 1000(600)+ 0.5(0.1)Revenue + 1.5(0.5)W ages,(a) Interpret the coefficients on each of the explanatory variables. (b) Which of the three coefficients are statistically significant at the 5% level of significance? Howdo you know? A researcher runs a two-sided statistical test of the null hypothesis that both the coefficients onthe explanatory variables above are jointly equal to 0.25 (mathematically, that β1 = β2 = 0.25),and reports a p-value of 0.045.(c) What does this p-value mean for the outcome of the test? (d) What would an appropriate two-sided alternative hypothesis look like?
