Suppose a firm is producing 2,475 units of output by hiring 50 workers (W = $20 per hour) and 25 units of capital (R = $10 per h

our). The marginal product of labor and marginal product of capital are 40 and 25, respectively. Is the firm minimizing the cost of producing 2,475 units of output?

Answer

given,

firm is producing  = 2,475 units

output by hiring 50 workers W = $20 per hour

25 units of capital R = $10 per hour

marginal product of labor = 40

marginal product of capital = 25

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{40}{25}

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{8}{5}

\dfrac{W}{R}=\dfrac{20}{10}

\dfrac{W}{R}=2

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c} < \dfrac{W}{R}

Firm is not minimizing the cost because the firm use more capital and less labor.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel

How does the distance traveled by the coin compare to its displacement after ten flips?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

To calculate displacement, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your displacement is 0. In physics, displacement is represented by Δs.
