Answer:

Marginal cost of labor = marginal cost of capital

Explanation:

The general rule says that the firm maximizes profit when it produce the quantity of output where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost.

You can also approach the profit maximization issue from the input side, that means: what is the profit maximizing usage of the variable input? In order to maximize profit, the firm should increase its usage of the input up to the point where the input's marginal revenue product is equal to its marginal costs.

This is the profit maximizing rule (mathematically) MRPL = MCL

L: is a subscript and it refers to the variable "labor"

Mark runs a small manufacturing business. Which statement hints at the fact that Mark is a transformational leader?

Zolol [24]

The answer would be A because the key word is manufacturing and that means Mark is building something he visioned. So, the business he started although small inspired enough people to work for what he envision. B, C, and D are wrong because it does not hint or say in the question about any of those answer choices.

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports

Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices

Nominal GDP in year 1 = 4 x $4 = $16

Nominal GDP in year 2 = 5 x $5 = $25

Nominal GDP in year 3 = 6 x $6 = $36
