The firm’s marginal cost of production when the firm is producing 50 units of output is 33.33

Solution:

The production function is Q = \sqrt{L * K}

The initial value is 10 units. The production value is 50 units The manufacturing cycle needs work as stated below.

Q = \sqrt{L * K}

Q = \sqrt{L * 10}

L = (\frac{Q}{3.162} )^{2}

The wage rate is $15 . The following is the expense of the manufacturing process.

TC = P_{L} * L + P_{K} * K

TC = ( 15 * (\frac{Q}{3.162} )^{2} ) + [ P_{k * 10}]

The marginal production cost is really the increase in manufacturing costs as output increases by 1 point.

As listed below, the marginal cost:

TC = ( 15 * (\frac{Q}{3.162} )^{2} ) + [ P_{k * 10}]

MC = \frac{TC}{Q} = \frac{2Q}{3}

MC = \frac{2*50}{3} = 33.33

Explanation:

Given:

Payment received each year = $125,000

Rate of return = 7.25 % = 0.0725

Present value = ?

Computation of Present value:

Present value = Payment received each year / Rate of return

= $125,000 / 0.0725

= $1724137.93

Present value = $1724137.93

Present value = $1,724,138 (approx)

Therefore, firm have to contribute  $1,724.138

Which of the following best describes equilibrium?
QveST [7]

Answer:

C. A situation where no economic agent would benefit by changing his or her behavior

Explanation:

An economic equilibrium is when the agents are optimizing their decisions and opposing market forces are equal. This point allows the economic agents to maximize their utility and any change from this point will cause all agents to move away from potential maximum benefits.

In a natural equilibrium there is usually no government intervention so option A is false. Option B gives only one agent potential benefits and as such there is no equilibrium. Option D is conditional and may or may not happen as when the agents find missing information they would optimize again and move to an equilibrium.

Hope that helps.

What are the criticisms of fiscal policy
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Fiscal policy is the adjustment of tax rate and government spending that is used to handle current economic situation.

There are several of criticism that usually found on fiscal policies.

- Time Lags.

The effect of fiscal policies could only be felt years after the policies are made. Often times, this goes unnoticed by the citizens of the country, making it look like that the government took no action to handle their economic issues.

- Strengthening foreign influence

One of the things that the government can do to reduce the inflation is by selling government bonds to the public. These bonds can be bought by companies from another countries. This will strengthen that country's influence over US economy.

- It could create a budget deficit for the next government officials.

Government in United States were reshuffled between 2-4 years. While the effect of fiscal policies could need more than 10 years before it actually can be felt.  Sometimes, fiscal policies taken by previous government could create a deficit that had to be handled by the next government after the election.
