If the firm's product sells for a constant $2 and the price of the resource is a constant $16, the firm will employ how many units of the resource? Group of answer choices 5 4 3 2
A competitive, profit-maximizing firm uses two inputs labor (L) and capital (K). Its production function is given by f (L, K) = 3L2 + 7K 2. Its output sells for $4 per unit. The price of labor is $6 per hour. The price of output rises to $8 per unit but factor prices do not change. (a) It will increase its hiring of labor by 4 hours. (b) It will increase its hiring of labor by 2 hours. (c) We need to know the price of capital to be able to determine the change in demand for labor. (d) It will increase its hiring of labor by 3 hours. (e) None of the above.

Assume that a firm can produce product A, product B, or product C with the resources it currently employs. These resources cost the firm a total of $30 per week. Assume, for the purposes of this problem, that the firm's costs cannot be changed. The market prices and the quantities of A, B, and C these resources can produce are given below. Note: PROFIT AND REVENUE ARE DIFFERENT. Product Market price (P) Output (Q) Revenue (TR) Cost (TC) Profit A $5.00 8 $. 30 $. В 4.00 20 30 1.50 50 30 (a) Compute the firm's profit when it produces A, B, or C and enter these data in the table. Profit = Total Revenue (TR) –Total Cost (TC) = TR – TC TR = P *Q = per unit price of output * Quantity of output e.g., Product A: Revenue (TR) = $ - ; Cost (TC) ; so, Profit = $ = $ (b) Which product will the firm produce? Firm will produce product _(A. B, or C ) that generates highest profit.
