2. A firm's production function is Q = L0.5K 0.5. It is the short run and K is fixed at 100. The wage is 10 and the rental rate (cost of capital) is 5. a. Find marginal cost as a function of Q (not as a function of L, although using L might help you find the answer).| b. How much output does the firm produce if the price of output is 20? Calculate profit if the price of output is 20.

(b) A garment factory’s production function is provided in the table.The gross profit per unit (difference between selling price and material cost, but not including the cost of labour) is $100. # Workers Output 1 20 2 36 3 48 4 56 5 60 6 62 (i) If the wage rate is $1,000 a week, how many workers should the factory hire? (ii) If a surge in popularity for the factory’s brand allows them to raise the product price such that the gross profit rises to $150, how many workers will the factory hire now? (iii) Calculate the number of garments produced in each of the two cases above. I would like questions i,ii,iii answered please.
A firm has the long- run total cost function TC(O) = 24Q + 3Q³ – 12Q2. In the long run, it will supply a positive amount of output, so long as the price is greater than or equal to: a. $15 5 %3D b. $7 c. $3 d. $22 e. $12
2. Suppose a perfectly competitive firm's production function is y = f(x1, x2). The firm aims at minimizing its cost. Which of the following statement is TRUE? A. The firm's technology must exhibit decreasing returns-to-scale. B. The average production cost of the firm must increase as y increases. C. The average production cost function may be concave. D. Suppose the firm becomes subject to the short-run constraint that x, = x2. The short- run total cost curve is always higher than the original long-run total cost curve.
The short run is a period of time in which: The quantities of some resources (inputs) are fixed. The amount of output is fixed. Prices and wages are fixed. O Nothing the firm does can be altered.
