ital at $5 per unit. At its current output level, the marginal physical products of labor and capital are 20 and 30 units, respectively. To minimize its cost of production without changing the level of output, the firm should a.) make no changes b.) hire more labor and rent more captital c.) hire less labor and rent more capital d.) hire more labor and rent less capital Hire less labor and rent less capital

Answer: c.) hire less labor and rent more capital

Explanation:

To answer this we would need to find out the Marginal cost per dollar of producing with either form of production being labour or capital.

The Marginal Product of Labour is 20 units resulting from $4 dollars so that means that for every dollar spent on Labour we get,

= 20/4

= 5 units of output.

However, The Marginal Product of renting Capital is 30 units resulting from $5 dollars so that means that for every dollar spent on Capital we get,

= 30/5

= 6 units of output.

This means that renting Capital is more efficient because we get 1 more unit of output per dollar and so to minimize cost of production without changing the level of output, the firm should hire less labor and rent more capital.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

<em>W:</em> positive contribution of 6,000

<em>Z:</em>  positive contribution of 1,000

<em>X:</em> negative of 1,000

<em>Y:</em> negative of 6,500

Explanation:

value at the end- value at split off  = value added for processing:

value added - addtional cost = advantage/disadvantage of processing

W (22,500- 7,500) - 9,000  = 15,000 - 9,000 = 6,000

X (20,000 - 13,5000) - 7,500 = 6,500 - 7,500 = (1,000)

Y (15,000 - 9,000) - 12,500 = 6,000 - 12,500 = (6,500)

Z (12,500 - 6,500) - 5,500 = 6,000 - 5,500 = 1,000

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

a. The quality of rental housing units falls

c. The quantity of available rental housing units falls.

Explanation:

As the landlord cannot receive a desired return for their investment they will stop improving and doing proper maintenance of the property to obtain it.

They will also be less likely to rent and would prefer to sale and move away from the real-state investment business in the region to more profitable region or better business. This will make the ernt go up as there is less offer as well so the policy backfires.

Stoping the market to work property will cause market failures and the outcome won't be the desired

A firm has an equity multiplier of 1.57, an unlevered cost of equity of 14 percent, a levered cost of equity of 15.6 percent, an
Elanso [62]

Answer:

10.45%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the cost of debt

B/S = 1.57 − 1

B/S = .57

.156 = .14 + .57(1 −.21)(.14 − RB)

.156 = .14 + .57(.79)(.14 − RB)

RB = .1045*100

RB= 10.45%

Therefore the cost of debt is 10.45%
