Suppose that as part of the restructuring plan Mitsubishi conducts an analysis of how labour and capital are used in its production process. Prior to restructuring it's marginal rate of technical substitution is 0.15 ( in absolute value). To hire workers. Suppose that Mitsubishi must pay the competitive hourly wage of US$ 15. In the study of production process and markets where capital is procured, suppose that Mitsubishi determine that its marginal productivity of capital is 0.5 small cars per hour at its new targeted level of output and that capital is procured in a highly competitive market. The same study indicates that the average selling price of Mitsubishi’s smallest car is US$ 9500. Determine the rate at which Mitsubishi can rent capital and marginal productivity of labour at its new targeted level of output. To minimize costs Mitsubishi should hire capital and labour until the marginal rate of technical substitution reaches what proportion?
If the cross elasticity of demand between two goods is negative, * A. ONE OF THE GOODS MUST BE INFERIOR. * B. THE TWO GOODS ARE COMPLEMENTS. * C. ONE OF THE GOODS MUST BE A NECESSITY. * D. THE TWO GOODS ARE SUBSTITUTES.
A Monopolist producing and supplying cooking gas to Mongolia faces the demand function. Q = 8800 – 20P. Its cost function is given by TC = 20Q + 0.05Q2 . i. Determine the quantity of cooking gas she will produce and the price she will charge to maximize profits and determine her profit. ii. Explain how her profits she will affected if regulators forced her to operate like a perfectly competitive firm. iii. Illustrate and compute deadweight loss and lost consumer surplus associated with her Monopoly operations. b. Based on any community project of your choice, use indifference curves and the budget concept to illustrate your understanding of consumer equilibrium.
