The answer is C. Rapidly increasing exports.
I just took this question too and got it right :)
The firm should decrease the amount of capital used.
Solution:
The wage rate is $12 per hour and capital is rented at $8 per hour.
The marginal product of labour is 45 units of output per hour and the marginal product of capital is 65 units of output per hour.
A manager hires labour and rents capital equipment in a very competitive
market.
The ratio of marginal product of labour and wage rate
=
= 3.75
The ratio of marginal product of capital and rent
=
= 8.125

Answer:
Inflation
Explanation:
Inflation refers to a situation of a general increase in the prices of goods and services in the economy. As prices of goods and services rise, the cost of living goes up. Inflation results in the purchasing power of currency to diminish.
Economist uses the consumer prices index to determine the rate of inflation. Inflation means a basket of goods and services will cost more today than it did in the prior period. Rapid economic growth that results in too much money in circulation causes inflation.
