Question: 22. The table below presents estimates of the maximum levels of output possible with various combinations of two inputs.
Capital (K) | |||||
5 | 11 | 25 | 37 | 47 | 51 |
4 | 10 | 23 | 33 | 41 | 44 |
3 | 8 | 18 | 25 | 30 | 34 |
2 | 5 | 11 | 16 | 20 | 22 |
1 | 1 | 4 | 8 | 10 | 11 |
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |
Labor (L) |
Assume that a unit of output sells for $5 and that the firm currently employs one unit of capital (K = 1).
(i) | What is the marginal product of labor when L = 2? |
(ii) | What is the average product of labor when L = 2? |
(iii) | What is the marginal revenue product of labor when L = 2? What is the output elasticity of labor when L = 2? |
(iv) | If the wage rate of labor is $10, how many units of labor should the firm hire and how many units of output should it produce? |
