Assume that a profit-maximizing firm which competes in a purely competitive product industry has only two factor inputs, labor a

nd capital, and that resource prices remain constant. This firm finds that the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) when divided by the price for labor (MRC) is less than one. The firm also finds that the marginal revenue product for capital (MRP) when divided by the price (MRC) is greater than one. If this firm wishes to produce the same amount of output with these two resources, but minimize the cost of output, this firm must employ:________
a. less labor and more capital
b. more capital
c. more labor and capital

Answer: a. less labor and more capital

Explanation:

When the Marginal Revenue Product of Labor (MRP) is divided by the price for labor (MRC), the result is less than 1. This means that for every dollar spent on labor, labor produces less than a dollar. The labor is therefore not efficient.

This is the reverse for capital where the marginal revenue product for capital (MRP) when divided by the price (MRC) is greater than one which means that for every dollar investment in capital, more than a dollar is made.

As capital is more efficient, it would make sense to invest more in capital whilst reducing the investment in labor as this would lead to more gain for the company.

A 2-year T-note was issued 9 months ago with a face value of $1000. It pays a 5% per annum coupon, paid semiannually. Suppose th
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The Price of Bond today = $997.07

Explanation:

Semi annual coupons = $1000 * 5% / 2

Semi annual coupons = $25

As 9 months is already over in the two year bond, the coupons are payable

3 months from now, 9 months from now and 15 months from now.

The present value of all these coupons and the principal should be equal to the price of the bond today.  In case of continuous compounding, the formula for Present Value of any future Cash flow C is C*e^(-r*t).

Price of Bond = $25 * e^(-0.06*3/12) + 25*e^(-.061*9/12)+ 1025*e(-0.062*15/12)

Using the value of e as 2.71828

Price of Bond = $25 * 2.71828^(-0.06*3/12) + 25*2.71828^(-.061*9/12)+ 1025*2.71828(-0.062*15/12)

Price of Bond = $ 25 * 2.71828 ^-0.015 + 25*2.71828^-0.04575 + 1025*2.71828^-0.0775

Price of Bond = $ 25 * 1/2.71828^0.015 + 25*1/2.71828^0.04575 + 1025*1/2.71828^0.0775

Price of Bond = $997.07

Unit 1 Quiz Submit 6 A market economy has several benefits, but it also has some drawbacks. What is one negative effect a market
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

A. It creates extreme divisions between the wealthy and the poor

Explanation:

The market economy is profits driven. The prices of goods and services, including essential goods, are set to generate profits for the producer. Only people with resources are able to acquire these goods.  

The market economy creates social inequities as those with fewer resources will always afford little. Meanwhile, owners of the factors of production continue making profits and growing more wealthy. Economies with a market economy will have people at both extreme ends of wealth; those with a lot and those who barely have any

You notice that when customers have too many choices, they are less likely to make a decision about what to buy, so you tell all
grin007 [14]

Answer:

This statement falls under Classical Management Theory

Explanation:

In this case, managers want to help customers in making their choices easy and simple for them. Yes, its very much true that too many choices create ambiguity, it becomes very hard for the customers to choose from overload of choices, that's the reason Apple only came with one phone model, iPhone. Furthermore, managers want employees to help customers, therefore, they have linked their motivation directly with the incentives and commissions, which directly falls under the classical management theory, which says that employees have certain economic and physical needs which they have to meet and fulfill. Moreover, classical management theory also helps us in the areas of leadership, specialization of labor, profits, and decision making. Here managers want to streamline their operations as well, which is also another feature of management theory.
