Korolek [52]3 years ago

Solution :

A firm hires labor till a point where the cost of hiring is equal to the value of the additional revenue it produces.

We know ,

the wage rate = cos of hiring an additional worker

the value of the additional revenue that the firm produces = price x (MPI) marginal product of the labor.

Therefore, the firm will hire when :

Wage = value of the additional revenue it generates

Thus, wage = price  x (MPI) marginal product of the labor ...........(i)

Therefore, given :

wage of a worker = $ 45

Price = $ 12

So, 45 = 12 x MPI

MPI = 3.8

So the marginal product of employing three days of labor = 25-18/4-3 = 7

Marginal product of employing four days of labor = 30-25/4-3 = 5

So the 4th day produces less revenue than the cost that it generates.

So, the firm should hire 3 workers.

In the country of Wiknam, the velocity of money is constant. Real GDP grows by 3 percent per year, the money stock grows by 8 pe
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(a) 8%

(b) 5%

(c) 4%

Explanation:

According to the classical quantity theory of money,

Money supply × Velocity = Price Level × Real GDP

Money supply denoted by M

Velocity is denoted by V

Price level is denoted by P

Real GDP is denoted by Y

Therefore,

Change in M + Change in V = Change in P + Change in Y

Since, we know that V is constant, so V = 0

∴ Change in M = Change in P + Change in Y

(a) Nominal GDP = Price × Real GDP

Change in P + Change in Y = Change in Nominal GDP = Change in M

Change in M = 8%, it is given in the question.

Therefore, Change in Nominal GDP = 8%

(b) Change in M = Change in P + Change in Y

      8% = Change in P + 3%

Change in P = 8% - 3%

                     = 5%

We know that change in price level is the inflation rate. Hence, the inflation rate is equal to the 5%.

(c) Real interest rate is the difference between the nominal interest rate and  the inflation rate.

Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

                             = 9% - 5%

                             = 4%
