Suppose that XYZ Company hires labor and capital in competitive input markets. Assume that labor costs $200 per day and that a u
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) Yes, the firm is minimizing the cost of current production. This is because MRPL / w = MRPC / r = 0.20.

b) The long run adjustments that the firm would likely make in response to the wage increase is to use more labor and less capital until MRPL / w = MRPC / r, which is the condition for the cost minimization of a firm.

Explanation:

a) Given the information provided, is the firm minimizing the cost of current production? Explain why or why not.

The condition for the cost minimization of a firm is as follows:

MRPL / w = MRPC / r ……………………………. (1)

Where:

MRPL = Labor's marginal product = 40

w = Cost of labour = $200

MRPC = Capital's marginal product = 30

r = Cost of capital = 150

Therefore, we have:

MRPL / w = 40 / 200 = 0.20

MRPC / r = 30 / 150 = 0.20

Since MRPL / w = MRPC / r = 0.20, this implies that these conditions are consistent with equation (1). Therefore, the firm is minimizing the cost of current production.

b) If the daily wages were to increase, explain the long run adjustments that the firm would likely make in response to the wage increase.

If the daily wages were to increase, the MRPL / w in equation (1) in part a above will fall and we will have:

MRPL / w < MRPC / r …………………… (2)

Since equation (2) is no longer consistent with equation (1), the firm is NOT minimizing the cost of current production.

Therefore, the long run adjustments that the firm would likely make in response to the wage increase is to use more labor and less capital until MRPL / w = MRPC / r, which is the condition for the cost minimization of a firm.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

B) should pack her bags for the trip; she earned it

Explanation:

In this scenario, it can be said that if the client purchases that annuity, the agent should pack her bags for the trip; she earned it. Since the annuity that has been recommended by the agent is offering her an incentive, and the agent fully disclosed that fact to the client, then she did her duty correctly. In the case that the client decides to purchase the annuity, they do so with full knowledge of the potential conflict of interest.
