A firm faces the following costs: total cost of capital = $2,000; price paid for labor = $12 per labor unit; and price paid for raw materials = $4 per raw-material unit.

Instructions: In parts a and b, round your answers to 2 decimal places. In part c, enter your answer as a whole number.

a. Suppose the firm can produce 6,000 units of output this year by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average total cost of producing the 6,000 units of output?

TC=

ATC=

b. Now assume the firm improves its production process so that it can produce 7,000 units of output this year by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average total cost of producing the 7,000 units of output?

TC=

ATC=

c. If units of output can always be sold for $1 each, then by how much does the firm’s profit increase after it improves its production process?

Discuss the importance of having comparable populations underlying comparisons of experimental and non-experimental estimates.

Suppose you plan on eating 50 potato chips. As you start consuming potato chips, your marginal utility is very high, but it begins to fall slowly until you’ve eaten 10 chips. After you have eaten 10 chips, your marginal utility decreases even faster with each additional chip. Marginal utility continues to decline until you’ve eaten 49 chips. The fiftieth chip does not give you any additional utility. After 50 chips, your mouth gets so salty that it is unpleasant to eat any more, so marginal utility is actually negative for those chips. How many chips should you eat in order to maximize your total utility?

A labor market has 50,000 people in the labor force. Each month, a fraction p of employed workers become unemployed (0 < p < 1) and a fraction q of unemployed workers become employed (0 < q < 1).

(a) What is the steady-state unemployment rate?

(b) Under the steady-state, how many of the 50,000 in the labor force are employed and how many are employed each month? How many of the unemployed become employed each month?

(c) Suppose p = 0.08 and q = 0.32. What is the steady-state unemployment rate and how many workers move from employment to unemployment each month?

Energyshot is a new energy drink that is about to be introduced into the global market. You are the executive in charge of marketing it in some of the lesser developed countries such as Honduras and Haiti. You are aware that food and milk in these countries is more expensive than Energyshot.

• Discuss what effect an advertising campaign touting how “the boost of energy from Energyshot will last the whole day!” will impact these lesser developed countries.
• What are the ethical and social responsibility ramifications of a populace too poor to afford much food using this drink instead?
• What would you do as the marketing manager for this drink for these countries?

Suppose that the first national bank currently holds a total of 45 million dollars in deposits from over 120,000 clients. At the same time, the total amount of loans people owe the bank is 18 million dollars, and the bank cannot legally issue more loans without attracting additional deposits. Assume that the bank currently has 3 million dollars in cash and 2 million dollars worth of securities invested in the financial market. The bank also owns some physical assets, such as its office building.

Suppose now someone saves another $52 into his checking account at the first national bank, what is the maximum amount of deposits that can be generated (including this initial deposit) by the fractional reserve banking system?
