Consider a firm with production function F(K, L)=3L+8K. Assume that capital is fixed at K=12. Assume also that the rental rate (price) of capital r=10 and the wage rate (price) of labor w=3. The cost of production is the total expenditure on capital (fixed cost) and labor (variable cost). Then the cost of producing q units is__. A. C(q)=114+(9q/8).
B. C(q)=24+39.
C. C(q)=88+(q/12).
D. C(q)=24+ q.
E. C(q)=24+q2

Uppose the book-printing industry is competitive and begins in a long-run equilibrium. then hi-tech printing company invents a new process that sharply reduces the cost of printing books. suppose hi-tech's patent prevents other firms from using the new technology. which of the following statements are true about what happens in the short run? check all that apply. hi-tech's average-total-cost curve shifts downward. hi-tech's profits increase. the price of books remains the same. hi-tech's marginal-cost curve remains the same.

The price of trade suppose that portugal and sweden both produce rye and wine. portugal's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 bushels of rye while sweden's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 bushels of rye. by comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell thatportugal/sweden has a comparative advantage in the production of wine.andportugal/sweden has a comparative advantage in the production of rye. suppose that portugal and sweden consider trading wine and rye with each other. portugal can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more rye for each bottle of wine it exports to sweden. similarly, sweden can gain from trade as long as it receives more bottles of wine for each bushel of rye it exports to portugal. based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of wine in terms of rye) would allow both sweden and portugal to gain from trade? a. 1 bushels of rye per bottle of wineb. 8 bushels of rye per bottle of winec. 9 bushels of rye per bottle of wined. 3 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
