- There is Village A where the luxury axiom and the substitution axiom are satisfied (as discussed in Chapter 6). In this village, 200 households and 100 firms exist. Each household is composed of 4 household members: two adults and two children. One of the children is a teenage daughter and the other is a teenage son. The subsistence level of consumption for each individual is s = 2.5. One of the two adults in each household works on its private land and produces the value of agricultural output a = 3. The other adult earns a wage by working for a firm and decides whether to work at the firm with the two children. Regarding the labour input for firm’s production, one unit of child labour is equivalent to 0.5 units of adult labour. Accordingly, the child wage is half of the adult wage. Each firm produces output according to the following production function. Output = 16(Adult Equivalent Labour)^(1/2) We assume that the adults working on their private lands cannot work for firms. Wages,…arrow_forwardNot use ai pleasearrow_forwardPlease correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forward

Additional Information: Each unit of output is sold for $10. The firm can hire labor at a cost of $20 per hour.
