Suppose that Maria is starting a food ordering and delivery company. Customers order meals online. Employees prepare the meals and deliver them to customers. Maintenance of the online platform for ordering meals costs the company $5 per day. The company also rents space where orders are prepared. Rent costs $50 per day. To make the deliveries, the business also rents two delivery cars that cost $10 each per day. The costs of ingredients for preparing different numbers of meals are provided in the table below. Maria also has to hire between 0 and 10 workers (depending on the number of meals she chooses to make) to buy ingredients, prepare meals, and deliver the orders. She will pay each employee $120 per day. The first two columns of the table below show how many meals different number of workers can prepare and deliver.

A pizzeria, which operates in a perfectly competitive hospitality market, can produce pizzas if it has its premises and a pizza oven (which cost £10 per night), ingredients (£3 per pizza), and workers (each of whom earn £40 per night). The number of pizzas that can be produced per night, depending on the number of workers employed by the pizzeria, is given in the following table: Workers employed 1 2 3 4 Pizzas per night 20 36 48 56 60 HINT: In the following, you willI be asked to draw curves in diagrams based on the above table. In each diagram, please proceed as follows: First, place a dot in the diagram, each representing a column in the table. Second, label each dot with its coordinates. Third, connect dots with straight lines to obtain the required curve. d) Explain how the firm can use this cost function to determine its profit maximising quantity.

Imagine you own a business firm with a friend of yours. During the first quarter you come up with the following information that: • Output elasticity of Capital is 0.2 • Output elasticity of Labour is 0.8 • Rate of Technological advancement is 12 a) What kind of business firm is the one that you own? Mention 2 of its characteristics. b) Derive the marginal productivity of capital and labour, by means of Cobb- Douglas production function. c) If Y = F (K, L) where K= 1000 and L= 400, determine the values of MPx and %3D MPL.
QUESTION 26 Refer to the following table that shows the short-run production relationship and the product demand schedule for a firm.

Suppose that you are one of rubber producers (sellers) in the perfectly competitive market in Thailand. Make it simple: suppose there are two types of used inputs consisting of land and workers. Assume that, in short-run production, you operate on a fixed size of a land and the cost of renting the land is 2 Baht per day. The table (A) below shows the relationship between the quantity of rubber produced by your company per day and costs of workers per day. The goal of your firm is to maximize (minimize) profits (losses).Table (A) The Quantity of rubber (units) produced per day Costs of workers per day in baht ATC AVC MC 0 0 1 5 2 9 3 12 4 14 5 15 6 18 7 22 8 27 9 33 10 40 Answer the following questions 1.

Question 6 Profit maximization A firm faces the following production function q = 100L0.6K0.6 The wage rate, w, is $4.00 and the price of capital, r, is $2. 1. If the firm uses 100 units of capital how much labor should it use to minimize costs? 2. Does this production technology exhibit increasing, constant, or decreasing returns to scale? Why?
Microeconomics II is the most fun course you ever took. Explain? A profit-maximizing competitive firm uses just one input, x. Its production function is q= 4(x)^1/2. The price of out-put is $28 and the factor price is $7. The amount of the factor that the firm demands is?
