A firm has a production function of Q = L1/3K 2/3
- If wages are $13, the price of the final product is $39 and Capital is 27, how many employees will the firm employ?
- If a piece of capital equipment is infinitely lived (with proper operational maintenance), How many pieces of capital would the firm employ (at a machine cost of $100 and an interest rate of 24.75%), given the production function offered and the employment level arrived at in question #6A (do not use the Capital number from A)? Please show your work.
- Choose two examples and explain the management and profitability impacts of these two issues
- Rise in interest rates. How do you use your issues of marginal product to address this increase in interest expense?
- Rise in wages. How do you use your issues of marginal product to address this increase in wage expense?
