A certain production process requires only two types of inputs — capital and labor. In 2006, 100 units of labor and 50 units of

capital were employed, and 100 units of output were produced. In 2013, 112 units of labor and 56 units of capital were employed. If the production process displays constant returns to scale, then how many units of output were produced in 2013?a. 100 b. 112 c. 124 d. 144

Answer:

Option (b)=112 units of output was produced in 2013

Explanation:

Returns of scale refers to how much output changes given a proportional change in input, where the input changes by a constant factor.

This can be represented by the equation;

Input 2=Constant×Input 1

where;

Input 1=100 units of Labor+50 units of capital=100l+50c

Constant=k

Input 2=112 units of Labor+56 units of capital=112l+56c

Replacing;

112l+56c=k×(100l+50c)

Since k is a common factor which when multiplied by the input 1 labor and capital equals input 2 labor and capital, it can be calculated as;

k=(Input 2 labor units/input 1 labor units)=(Input 2 capital units)/Input 1 capital units)

k=(112l/100l)=(56c/50c)=1.12

To calculate the output for input 2;

Output 2=k×Output 1

where;

Output 1=the output produced by input 1=100 units

k=constant returns=1.12

Output 2=the output produced by input 2=x

Replacing;

x=100×1.12

x=112 units

Output 2=112 units

112 units of output was produced in 2013

Claremont Company specializes in selling refurbished copiers. During the month, the company sold 180 copiers at an average price
Bess [88]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since the average copier was sold $3000

Budgeted 175 copier was sold $3200

Therefore $3000+$3200= $6200

6200*180=$1116000

We subtract it from the 180*$3000=$54000

$1116000-$540000

=$576000

34kurt

Answer:

Credence Attributes

Explanation:

A credence good or service is a type of good/service with qualities that cannot be observed by the consumer after purchase, making it difficult to assess its level of satisfaction.  Examples include expert services such as Tax advisory services, medical procedures, automobile repairs, and dietary supplements.

Because the quality of these products or service are unobservant through search or experience some providers tend to charge consumers at a premium for their provision.

Assume that the short-run cost and demand data given in the tables below confront a monopolistic competitor selling a given prod
REY [17]

Profit is maximized when Q = 4 and P = $40, with maximum profit = $90.

<u>Explanation:</u>

(a)  (i) Marginal cost (MC) = Change in Total cost (TC) by Change in output (Q)

(ii) Total revenue (TR) = Price (P) into Q

(iii) Marginal revenue (MR) = Change in TR by Change in Q

(iv) Profit = TR - TC

Therefore:

Q  TC  MC  P  TR  MR  PROFIT

0  25   60  0   -25

1  40  15  55  55  55  15

2  45  5  50  100  45  55

3  55  10  45  135  35  80

4  70  15  40  160  25  90

5  90  20  35  175  15  85

6  115  25  30  180  5  65

7  145  30  25  175  -5  30

8  180  35  20  160  -15  -20

9  220 40  15  135  -25  -85

10  265 45  10  100  -35  -165

When Q = 4, MR = $25 and MC = $15, so MR > MC. When Q = 5, MR = $15 and MC = $20, so MR < MC. Therefore,  

Profit is maximized when Q = 4 and P = $40, with maximum profit = $90.

(b)  In the long run, new firms will enter the market by being attracted by positive short run profit. Therefore in long run, demand for individual firm will decrease, price for individual firm will decrease and profit will decrease until each existing firm earns zero economic profit.
