Question 10
LO 11.2: I can calculate marginal cost, revenue, and profit and distinguish between marginal cost
and average cost.

Question 19
widget-manufacturing
The production function for a
firm is given by q = 9K0.5L0.5, where q is the number of widgets
produced each hour, K is the number of specialized staplers (which is fixed at 4 in the short run), and L is the
number of employees. What is the marginal product of labor at L = 9?

- Let's assume that a firm produces 60 products. Its total weekly cost (TC) at this output is $2,100. This includes TVC and TFC. We also know that the firm employs 3 part- time workers at a wage cost of $600 per worker per week. This is the firm's only variable cost (TVC). What is the firm's average fixed cost (AFC) at this output? O $2.50. O $2. O $5. O $100. O $10. Let's assume that a firm's total weekly costs are as follows: 1. Salaries of hired workers $5,000. 2. Supplies = $1,000. 3. Rent = $600, 4. The owners have invested a certain amount of their own money into the business. This could have earned them interest of $200 per week if they had chosen to put it into a bank instead of investing it into their business. 5. The value of the owner's time is estimated to be $800 per week. What are the firm's total economic costs? O $6.000 O $7.600. O $900. $7.500.

O a) With unions successfully raising wages for workers, it can also reduce overall employment. b) When unions drive up wages for workers, it results in an incentive for firms to hire more workers. OC) Unions drive up wages and benefits for workers by asserting market power over employers. O d) It is possible that raising wages for union workers can lead to higher productivity than nonunion workers because union workers are more likely to stay on the job longer.arrow_forward
