c) Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2021.
Consider a production function of the following form: X = 100 L , where X = output
and L = input of labor (assuming other inputs are fixed).
a. Construct a figure like Figure 6-1 and a table like Table 6-1 for inputs of L = 0, 1, 2, 3,
and 4.
b. Explain whether this production function shows diminishing returns to labor. What
values would the exponent need to take for this production function to exhibit increasing
returns to labor?
Using the IS-LM model, explain what could happen if the trust in bright future disappeared from capital markets. You can use some historical events as examples.
