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.

Use the In the News to answer three questions
Flauer [41]

Answer:

2%

2.5%

1.67%

Explanation:

The yield can be computed using the yield formula which coupon payment divided by price.

The coupon payment=face value*coupon rate

face value is $1000

coupon rate is 2%

coupon payment=2%*$1000=$20

when price is $1000:

yield =$20/$1000=2%

when price is $800

yield=$20/$800=2.5%

when price is $1,200

yield =$20/$1,200=1.67%

In essence ,the lower the price the higher the yield as lower amount is invested in order to receive the same amount of annual coupon of $20

Ethan's Eggroll House, a calendar year corporation, purchased a new computer and printer in January for $1,500. In February, the
eduard

Answer: The answer is D $300 computer, $240 oven

Explanation:

According to IRS tables on the calculation of depreciation on computer and oven, it is estimated that an asset such as computer will have a depreciation useful life of 5 years

Therefore since computer cost and printer = $1,500, useful life = 5 year

Cost ÷ useful life

= 1,500 ÷ 5

= $300

For oven since the cost =$1,200, useful life = 5years

Cost ÷ useful life

= 1,200 ÷ 5

= $240

An author just signed a lucrative contract with a publisher that offers to pay her the amount of $500 at the end of year 9 when
solong [7]

Answer:

Ans. The annuity that will be equivalent to the publisher´s advance would be $26.40 per year, for 9 years at 7% interest rate.

Explanation:

Hi, first, let´s bring that $500 to be paid in 9 years to present value, we need to use the following formula.

PresentValue=\frac{FutureValue}{(1+r)^{n} }

Where: r is our discount rate (7%) and n the periods from now when she will receive that $500 amount. This should look like this.

PresentValue=\frac{500}{(1+0.07)^{9} } =271.97

Ok, so the equivalent amount of money today of those $500 in nine years is $271.97, but the author wants $100 today so the remaining amount has to be used to find the equal annual payments to be made in order to be equivalent to re remaining balance ($171.97). We now need to use the following equation.

Present Value=\frac{A((1+r)^{n}-1 )}{r(1+r)^{n} }

And we solve for "A" like this

171.97=\frac{A((1+0.07)^{9}-1 )}{0.07(1+0.07)^{9} }

171.97=\frac{A(0.838459212 )}{0.128692145}

171.97=A(6.515232249)

A=\frac{171.97}{6.515232249} = 26.40

Therefore, the equivalent amount of money of $500 in 9 years is $100 today and $26.40 every year, at the end of the year, for nine years.

Best of luck.
