True Ob. FalseIn a company operational activities are performed to fabricate products or to provide services. Within a company individual departments provide services not only for the main business but frequently also for other departments. Those services can be measured by their quantity, however due to lack of market prices they cannot be rated by values.

- 7 Output for a simple production process is given by Q- KL, where K denotes capital and i denotes labor. The price of inbor is $10 per unit and the price of capital is $2 per unit. If at the current level of production the marginal product of labor is 8 while the marginai product of capital is 2, then in order to minimize your costs of production you should use Multipie Choice more capital and less labor the same ahount of both inputs more labor and less capital more of both inputs.Consider a manufacturing firm in a labor market that isperfectly competitive. There are two kinds of workers: productiveworkers whose marginal revenue product is $48,000 per year, andlazy workers whose marginal revenue product is $40,000 per year. Itis difficult for the firm to differentiate between productive andlazy workers. A local college offers a new yearlong astronomy course. Althoughthe cost of tuition is the same for both types of workers, thepsychic cost of having to work hard and get a passing grade islower for productive workers because they are able to learn morequickly than lazy workers. Therefore, the cost of taking the class(including the cost of tuition as well as the psychic cost) is$5,000 per year for a productive worker and $10,000 per year for alazy worker. Because astronomy has little relevance tomanufacturing, taking the class does not increase or decrease aworker's productivity. The firm uses the class as a way to differentiate betweenproductive and lazy…210 " 40 " What kind of externality is present in this market? O a. A negative consumption externality of x-10. Ob.
