QUESTION 3 Two inputs, labour (L) and capital (K) are used to produce a given output. The Marginal Product of L is equal to K: the Marginal Product of K is equal to L The hourly wage is w = 1; the interest rate is r= 2. Which of the following mixes of inputs could be cost minimizing for some level of production? O a. (K-0, L=100) Ob.(K=100, L-200) OC (K-200, L=100) O d. (K-1, L=3) O e (K=0, L-3)

The Al-Maskri Company in Seeb makes flower pots and receives RO 10 for each finished pot. Mr. Al-Maskri’s only factors of production are flower pot machine operators (labor) and a small building where the laborers work from.

Consider a small business that makes pastries. The business has rented a building to be used as its factory and shop floor. The rent of the building is $2,000 per week. The rest of the firm's weekly costs are as follows: ●Income lost from alternative employment - $2,000 ●Explicit variable costs - $1,500 ●Implicit variable costs - $ 500 i. If the firm sells 1,000 pastries per week, at $6 per pastry, calculate the firm's weekly ●Accounting profit, and ●Economic profit ii. Based on your answer to part b. i. above, should the firm continue to operate? Why or why not? iii. Assume that the firm continues at the current output level of 1,000 pastries per week while the prices start to fall. The firm should consider 'shut-down' if the price falls below what dollar value?
