Microeconomics Answers

The production for a productive is given by q=100KL. If the Price of capital is 120€ per day and the Price of labor 30€ per day, what is the minimum cost of producing 1000 units of output

You are given the data below for 2008 for the imaginary country of Amagre, whose currency is the G.

• Consumption 350 billion G
• Transfer payments 100 billion G
• Investment 100 billion G
• Government purchases 200 billion G
• Exports 50 billion G
• Imports 150 billion G
• Bond purchases 200 billion G
• Earnings on foreign investments 75 billion G
• Foreign earnings on Amagre investment 25 billion G

1. Compute net foreign investment.
2. Compute net exports.
3. Compute GDP.
4. Compute GNP.

In addition to responding with a quantitative answer, briefly describe how you arrived at your answers.

Suppose you are given RM500 each month to spend on meals and sports. Each meal will cost you RM5 and each sport will cost you RM2 per time you spend. Explain with a diagram to show that you have achieve an optimum consumption. Carefully derive the bundle of meals and sports at the optimum consumption point and the intercept points in your diagram. Could you able to obtain a higher optimum consumption point if your budget remains at RM500? Explain.

A producer, in order to maximize his level of production must consider 2 major factors. Given a 2 resources: labor and capital, what must he take into account to attain a certain level of production. How is producer's equilibrium obtained? Explain.

Identify using examples the three types of economic systems

A monopolist firm faces a demand with constant elasticity of -2. It has a constant marginal cosy of 20$ per unit and sets price to maximize profit. If marginal cost should increase 25%, would the price charged also rise by 25%?

Suppose there are three types of Apples A, B and C being sold and consumed. The demand and supply equations for each type are:

Da=20-2Pa+4Pb+Pc; Sa=4Pa-5; Db=10+3Pa-5Pb+2Pc ;Sb=3Pb-7;Dc=70+4Pa+2Pb-5Pc ;Sc=5Pc-16

Determine equilibrium prices and quantities using Cramer’s rule.

• Calculate the elasticity of demand for B with respect to prices of variety A, B and C and interpret the economic meaning of the results.

The demand and supply equations for a product are:

Qd= 300 — 6P and Qs= -40 + 6P.

Determine the market equilibrium and draw graphs.

Suppose that the government decides to impose a flat tax of 10% on each unit sold. Show that the price that consumers pay would be the same if the government imposed a tax of Rs. 1.70 per unit sold. Draw graphs and explain.

Also calculate the total revenue earned by sellers before and after the tax, the tax revenue raised by the government, changes in consumer and producers surplus, and deadweight loss
