Suppose that there are 100 identical firms, each with the following technology: f = K^1/4 L^1/2. Suppose also that in the short run K =1,with r = 1, and P = 4. For the short run:
(a) If we assume that each firm is a profit maximizer, what is the problem that each firm solves?
(b) Calculate the MPL and each firm's demand for labor.
(c) Calculate each firm’s profits.
(d) Calculate the market demand of labor. Suppose that after considering basic activities required for life, there are 200 hours in a month which an individual can distribute between leisure and hours worked, that is 200 =h+l where his leisure and l is labor. Suppose there are 1000 identical individuals, each with the same preferences:U(h,x) = x^1/2 +h^1/2 over leisure and consumption x. Normalize the prize of consumption x to 1.
(e) State the individual budget restriction.
(f) State the individual’s problem and the first order conditions.
(g) If w=1, find the optimum of leisure h and consumption x.
(h) Find the individual supply of l (do not assume w =1).
(i) Find the market supply of labor. Assume that the amount of labor(hours worked) is traded in a competitive market.
(j) What will be the equilibrium wage rate w?
(k) What will be the equilibrium level of labor?
What is the percent error in the model moment of inertia
: Combine the data from problems 13-7 and 13-9. Run the linkage at a constant 2000 rpm. Calculate the inertia force and inertia torque at rot= 45°. Piston mass= 0.012.

What will be the equilibrium level of labor
: Suppose that there are 100 identical firms, each with the following technology: f = K^1/4 L^1/2. Suppose also that in the short run K =1,with r = 1, and P = 4. For the short run: Calculate the MPL and each firm's demand for labor. Calculate each firm..

Calculate the average molecular speed
: A process temperature is found to change by 33.4°F. Calculate the change in °C. A change in temperature does not involve a scale shift.

Find the resistance
: Temperature is to be controlled in the range 350°C to 550°C. What is this expressed in °F?- find the resistance at 25°F?

Budget hearing process
: Why is it important for government agency's budget hearing process and governing body's efforts to obtain input from key stakeholders and the public before making final decisions?

Explore the equilibrium of market
: In this exercise, you will explore the equilibrium of a market in which we know the cost function of the firms, as well as the demand function of consumers. You will first analyze the short-run equilibrium, and then the long-run equilibrium. Draw the..
