Answer:

In equilibrium, each worker is paid his or her value of the marginal product of labor.

Explanation:

Here are the missing option of the question:

  • In equilibrium, each worker is paid his or her value of the marginal product of labor.
  • Each worker is paid a wage equal to the highest value of the marginal product of labor(i.e., $40)
  • Each worker is paid $15.
  • We need to know the product price before we can figure out the wage rate.

As per marginal theory of productivity of income distribution, Income of each factor production is equal to its marginal productivity.

Marginal productivity is one additional unit of production by one unit additional unit of factor, which bring changes in total production. Firm hire labor till marginal revenue product of labor is more than wage rate of labor. The point at which Marginal revenue product of labor is equal to wage rate labor is the labor market equilibrium.

Answer:

Debit Petty cash $200 and credit cash $200

Explanation:

Accountants evaluate business activities and put them in record using journal entries such as debit-credit rules as a guide. Normally, an accountant will use specific journals for numerous journal entries of the same type – like sales journals, cash journals and purchases journals. Businesses which are large usually use specialized journals, while businesses which are smaller tend to only use a general journal that has all transactions. Recording journal entries is only the first step in the accounting.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$1120

Explanation:

The computation of the GDP is shown below:

Y = C + I + G + X

Here Y denotes the GDP

C denotes the consumption = $500 - $80 - $20 = $400 and  700 - 50 = $650

I denotes the investment  = $

G denotes the government purchase = $20

X denotes the net exports = $50

So,  

Y = $400 + $650 + 0 + $20 + $50

= $1120

The ninth worker adds 25 units to total production. The tenth worker adds 22 units to total production. The company has:________
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Diminishing returns

Explanation:

A firm producing widgets (term for a generic good) has two factors of production. The factory and labour. The capacity of the factory is fixed, and the marginal cost (MC) of labour is the same (i.e. each new worker will cost the same).

There are two stages to how MC is affected.

1. Increasing returns (MC goes down)  

As output begins to increase, the large manufacturing  processes/equipment  still not fully utilised means and the additional labour  can be productive as they can always use the equipment to its full potential due to which the MC is relatively low.

2. Constant returns (MC goes sideward)

At this point, labour is producing its optimal output per unit. The marginal cost  is therefore at its lowest.

3. Diminishing returns (MC goes up)

The more labour that is employed, the less marginal output it is able to produce.  This could be a result of too many people to efficiently operate/ rotate use of  machinery. The cost increases more and more to generate an extra unit of  output, because of labour exhibiting diminishing returns in the short run.

In this question, the 10th worker has added 22 units which is 3 units less than the number of units added by the 9th worker, thus the company is producing less marginal output for each worker. so based on the above discussion it can be concluded that the company has Diminishing returns.
