Answer:
The demand curve will shift to the left (reduce)
Explanation:
Shift in demand results from change in other factors affecting demand except for price.
There are wide-spread reports of contacting mad cow disease by consuming beef from Canada. This will result in a general decrease in the quantity of beef demanded (shift in demand to the left). At all prices there will be less demand for Canadian beef.
This is illustrated in the attached diagram.
Question:
The question is incomplete. See the complete question below and the graph.
You are given the following data;
Cost = C = $12,000.00
w = $100.00 per unit of labor
r = $100.00 per unit of capital
These data are used to construct the isocost line (C) in the diagram to the right. Suppose the wage increases to $200.00 but that the firm chooses to keep using the same amount of labor and capital to produce 200 units of output. Given this new set of factor prices (w'=$200.00, r = $100.00), how much have costs changed if the set of input choices remains at point A? Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Cost change = $6,000
Explanation:
Given Data:
Cost = C = $12,000.00
w = $100.00 per unit of labor
r = $100.00 per unit of capital
Calculating the cost incurred at point A using the equation of iso-costline C¹, we have;
C = wl + rk
where;
C = total cost
w = price of labor = $100
l = labor = 60 unit from the graph
k = capital = 60 unit from the graph
r = price of capital = $100
Substituting into the formula, we have
C = wl + rk
= 100*60 + 100*60
= 6000+6000
= $12,000
For increase in wages(w= $200, r = $100) with same amount of labor and capital, the cost incurred becomes;
C = wl + rk
= 200*60+100*60
= 12,000 + 6000
= $18,000
Therefore,
Cost change = 18000-12000
= $6,000
See the attached graph.
