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.

What is similar about analogical and symbolic representations?
ICE Princess25 [194]
Symbolic representations are mental pictures that have no direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Instead, these mental pictures are connected by themes that are meaningful to you. Anytime you think of words and descriptions for one main concept, you're thinking symbolically. Analogical representations are mental pictures that have a direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Do cows have their ears on the top or side of their heads? Rather than thinking symbolically about a cow and his ears (tiny, smelly, leather), analogical representations of the cow's ears involve thinking of an actual cow in your head.

A roller coaster travels around a vertical 8-m radius loop. Determine the speed at the top of the loop if the normal force exert
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

v=10m/sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Radius of vertical r= 8m

Force exerted by passengers is 1/4 of weight

Generally the net force acting on top of the roller coaster is give to be

F_N+Fg

where

F_N =forceof the normal

Fg= force due to gravity

Generally the net force is given to be FC(force towards center)

F_C =F_N + Fg

F_N =F_C -Fg

F_N=F_C-F_g

F_N=\frac{mv^2}{R} -mg

Mathematical we can now derive V

m_g + \frac{8m}{4}= \frac{mv^2}{8}

\frac{5mg}{4} =\frac{mv^2}{8}

v^2 =\frac{40*10}{4}

v=10m/sec

Therefore the speed of the roller coaster is given ton be v=10m/sec
