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.

stepan [7]
All Mountains are built through a general process called "deformation" of the crust of the Earth. Deformation is a fancy word which could also mean "folding". An example of this kind of folding comes from the process described below. 

<span>When two sections of the Earth's lithosphere collide, rather than being subducted, where one slab of lithosphere is forced down to deeper regions of the Earth, the slabs pile into each other, causing one or both slabs can fold up like an accordion. This process elevates the crust, folds and deforms it heavily, and produces a mountain range. Mountain building and mantle subduction usually go together. </span>
