Answer: Option A

 

Explanation: In simple words, elasticity refers to the change in demand for a product due to change in its price.

If the price for the gasoline remains high in the long run then at one point substitution effect will come into play and consumers will shift their demand to the alternatives available.

However the product like gasoline will not show decrease in demand in the short run due to price as it more of an essential good to daily life.

Thus, the correct option is A.

Assume that a firm uses labor and capital to produce a product. The firm hires labor at a wage rate of $4 per unit and rents cap
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: c.) hire less labor and rent more capital

Explanation:

To answer this we would need to find out the Marginal cost per dollar of producing with either form of production being labour or capital.

The Marginal Product of Labour is 20 units resulting from $4 dollars so that means that for every dollar spent on Labour we get,

= 20/4

= 5 units of output.

However, The Marginal Product of renting Capital is 30 units resulting from $5 dollars so that means that for every dollar spent on Capital we get,

= 30/5

= 6 units of output.

This means that renting Capital is more efficient because we get 1 more unit of output per dollar and so to minimize cost of production without changing the level of output, the firm should hire less labor and rent more capital.
