2. Suppose that the table below shows an economy's relationship
between real output and the inputs needed to produce that output:

a. What is productivity in this economy?
b. What is the per-unit cost of production if the price of each input
unit is $2?
c. Assume that the input price increases from $2 to $3 with no
accompanying change in productivity. What is the new per-unit cost
of production? In what direction would the $1 increase in input price
push the economy's aggregate supply curve? What effect would this
shift of aggregate supply have on the price level and the level of real
output?
d. Suppose that the increase in input price does not occur but,
instead, that productivity increases by 100 percent. What would be
the new per-unit cost of production? What effect would this change
in per-unit production cost have on the economy's aggregate supply
curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate supply have on the
price…

Assume that cloth is the labor- intensive commodity and that corn is the capital-intensive commodity. 1) The qutput of cloth less than doubled because of lack of enough demand. O 2) The output of cloth less than doubled because capital is not used in the cloth production. O 3) The output of cloth less than doubled because labor is the only factor of production. .O 4) The output of cloth less than doubled because only labor increased. Figure 1.
