kout machines and cashiers are perfect substitutes. Suppose that self-service checkout machines can process the purchases of 100 customers per hour and that a cashier can process the purchases of 60 customers per hour. Suppose that the price of operating a self-service checkout machine is 20 dollars per hour and that cashiers are paid an hourly wage of 10 dollars per hour. Answer the following questions: a) Write down Walmart's production function for processing customers' pur chases. This question is worth Five Points. b) What is Walmart's demand for self-service check out machines given the production technology and input prices?

Answer:

a) Q = 100M + 60C

b) L = 0

c) L = Q / 60

d) Cost = $66.67

Explanation:

a)

Let M be the self service machines and L be the cashiers hired by company.

M = self service machines

C = hired cashiers

Q = Total output

Each self service machine can process 100 orders per hour = 100M

Cashier can process 60 orders per hour = 60C

Then,

Q = 100M + 60C

b)

Marginal Product of self service machine = 100 / 20 = 5 order per dollar

Marginal Product of cashier = 60 / 10 = 6 order per dollar

Marginal Product of cashier is higher than Marginal Product of self service machine(6 > 5).

Then, demand for self service machine is zero.

L = 0

c)

L = Orders to be processed / Order processed per cashier  

L = Q / 60

d)

L = Q / 60

L = 400 / 60 = 6.66666667

Cost = L x 10 = 6.66666667 x 10 = $66.67

Hope this helps!
