Answer:
Explanation:
U(C, L) = (C – 100) × (L – 40)
(a) C = (w - t)[110 - L] + 320
C = 10[110 - L] + 320
C + 10L = 1420
where,
C- consumption
w - wages
t - taxes
L - Leisure
(b) Given that,
L = 100 then,
C = 420
= 5.33
(c) L = 110
C = 320
Reservation wage:
= 3.14
(d) At optimal level,
C - 100 = 10L - 400
C - 10L = -300
C = 10L - 300
Using budget constraint:
C + 10L = 1420
10L - 300 + 10L = 1420
20L = 1720
L* = 86 and C* = 560
Answer:
C) $50,000,000
Explanation:
The aggregate rent is the surplus earned by the lawyers for operating over their cost at this market equilibrium.
In the picture attached, the rent is showed graphically.
At PL=$250 per hour, the amount of demanded hours is QL=1,000,000.
The oportunity cost at a zero hours level is PL(0)=$150.
The rent can be calculated as:
The aggregate rent is $50,000,000.
Answer:
Mary should answer that more than half of the boxes not be rejected.
Explanation:
Probability:
Box has one defective screen = 0.6
Box has three defective screen = 0.4
no. of screens in a box = 8
The box is rejected if both of the inspected screens are defective.
Probability of rejecting a box:
= 0.04286
Only 4.286% of the boxes will be rejected.
Therefore, Mary should answer that more than half of the boxes not be rejected.
