Question

If a production function is graphed with Real GDP on the vertical axis and labor on the horizontal axis, and the technology coefficient rises from 0.40 to 0.50, it would cause resources:

Answer 1

Answer:

Production function would shift downward to a lower level of real GDP.

Explanation:

given data

technology coefficient rises = 0.40 to 0.50

solution

as here technological coefficient is the amount of input required for 1 unit of  output

so that when it increase from 0.4 to 0.5

so that it implies that amount of input required for 1 unit of output has increase by 0.1

so here more labor is required for producing same level of real GDP

so that production function would shift downward to a lower level of real GDP.
