Currently, at a price of $0.50 each, 100 popsicles are sold per day in the perpetually hot town of Rostin. Consider the elasticity of supply. In the short run, a price increase from $0.50 to $1 is unit-elastic (Es = 1). In the long run, a price increase from $0.50 to $1 has an elasticity of supply of 1.50. (Hint: Apply the midpoints approach to the elasticity of supply.)a. How many popsicles will be sold each day in the short run if the price rises to $1 each? b. So how many popsicles will be sold per day in the long run if the price rises to $1 each?

Acompany that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who produced an average of 79 carts per hour. workers receive $16 per hour, and machine coast was $49 per hour. with the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $11 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour. a) compute the multifactor productivity (mfp) (labor plus equipment) under the prior to buying the new equipment. the mfp (carts/$) = (round to 4 decimal places). b) compute the productivity changes between the prior to and after buying the new equipment. the productivity growth = % (round to 2 decimal places)
