Answer:

c. 5

Explanation:

L       Q     MPL (ΔinQ/ΔinL)    VMPL

4      52  

5      60              8                       80

6      66              6                       60

7      70               4                       40

8 72               2                       20

Note: Labour hired per day = L, Total product = Q, Marginal Product of labor=MPL, VMPL =Price*MPL

A firm will maximize the profit by increasing the number of labor as long as VMPL is higher than or equal to the wage rate. In this case, we observe that VMPL ($80)>wage rate ($75) for L=5 but VMPL ($60)<wage rate ($75) for L=6. So, the optimal number of labor to be hired is 5.

Allison invested $23,000 in an account paying an interest rate of 6.7% compounded annually. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

18 years

Explanation:

Given that;

P= $23,000

A= $76,300

r= 6.7%

From

A = P(1 + r/100)^n

76,300 = 23,000 (1 + 0.067)^n

3.3 = (1.067)^n

Taking logarithm of both sides

log 3.3 = log (1.067)^n

log 3.3 = nlog(1.067)

n= log 3.3/log 1.067

n= 0.5185/0.0282

n= 18 years ( to the nearest year)
