A. The RH Snippet company has one president and 1000 assembly line workers.
Which of the following events would have a bigger impact on the price of Snippets and why?
1. The president gets a raise of $1,000,000 a year.
2. A new union contract raises each worker's wages by $1,000 a year, but allows the firm to fire as many workers as it wants to.
B. Bob Thomason produces theorems using hours of labor and Big Machines. In the short run, his labor is a variable factor but the number of Big Machines is fixed. When he works for L hours using M Big Machines, Bob can produce L-M theorems. There are only 3 Big Machines in the world, and they can only be rented in whole number quantities (you can not employ 1/2 of a Big Machine). Bob's time is worth $1 per hour, and it costs $1 per hour to rent a Big Machine.
3. Draw Bob's short run total cost curve on the assumption that he employs 1 Big Machine. Do the same on the assumption that he employs
2 Big Machines. Do the same on the assumption that he employs 3 Big Machines.
4. Draw Bob's long run total cost curve.
5. Repeat question 3 and 4 with "total cost" replaced by "average cost."
6. Repeat question 3 and 4 with "total cost" replaced by "marginal cost."
C. Suppose that a firm experiences constant returns to scale at all levels of output.
7. True or False: Whenever the firm increases its use of inputs, its output expands proportionately. Thus this firm never experiences diminishing marginal product of labor.
