Answer: A. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constant).
Explanation:
The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution(MRTS) is calculated as follows:
= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital
= 1 / 3
Marginal product of labor = 1
Marginal product of capital = 3
This means that if one unit of labor is used, it produces 1 unit of output.
If one unit of capital is used however, it produces 3 units of output.
If a firm therefore used one unit of capital and kept labor constant, it could produce 3 units out output.
Answer:
Joe's Pizza Parlor
The highest number of workers that Joe will hire if he must pay each one $35 a day is
4 workers.
If he wants to maximize his profits without satisfying customers' demand, Joe can choose to work with 2 or 3 workers. However, he can renegotiate the worker's wages downwards.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price of pizza = $5
Wage per worker = $35/day
Number of Workers 0 1 2 3 4 5
Pizzas Baked Per Day 0 12 18 24 30 32
Total revenue 0 60 90 120 150 160
Marginal revenue 0 60 30 30 30 10
Marginal cost of labor 0 35 70 105 140 175
Profit 0 25 20 15 10 -15
Answer:
Marketing is a set of activities related to creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for others.
Answer:
Increase by 5%.
Explanation:
Given that,
cross-price elasticity of demand between goods X and Y = 4
Percentage increase in consumption of good X = 20 %
cross-price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded for good X ÷ Percentage change in price of good Y
4 = 20 ÷ Percentage change in price of good Y
Percentage change in price of good Y = 20 ÷ 4
= 5%
Therefore, the price of good Y must be increase by 5% in order to increase the consumption of good X by 20 percent.
Answer:
$14,000
Explanation:
Amount of interest expense = [(Bond issued by 'S' company x 9%) - Amount of
premium x (unsold bonds / Bonds issued)]
= (300,000 x 0.09) - 60000/10 x 200,000/300,000
= (27,000 - 6000) x 0.66667
= 21,000 x 0.66667
= $14,000
