question

The table below contains information on three techniques for producing $15 worth of bar soap. Assume that we said "$15 worth of bar soap" because soap cost $3 per bar and all three techniques produce 5 bars of soap ($15 = $3 per bar 3 x 5 bars). So you know each technique produces 5 bars of soap.

answer

a. What technique will you want to use if the price of a bar of soap falls to $2.75? Technique 2 What technique will you want to use if the price of a bar of soap rises to $4? Technique 2 What technique will you want to use if the price of a bar of soap rises to $5? Technique 2 b. How many bars of soap will you want to produce if the price of a bar of soap falls to $2.00? Zero—it is not profitable to produce bars of soap at this selling price. c. Suppose that the price of soap is again $3 per bar but that the prices of all four resources are now $1 per unit. Which is now the least-profitable technique? Technique 3 d. If the resource prices return to their original levels (the ones shown in the table) but a new technique is invented that can produce 3 bars of soap (yes, 3 bars, not 5 bars!) using 1 unit of each of the four resources, will firms prefer the new technique? No, they will still prefer Technique 2. revised 4/11/11 Explanation: a. As stated in the question, also assume that we said "$15 worth of bar soap" because soap cost $3 per bar and all three techniques produce 5 bars of soap ($15 = $3 per bar X 5 bars). So you know each technique produces 5 bars of soap. If the price falls to $2.75 total revenue (price multiplied by units sold) equals $13.75 (= $2.75 x 5). This does not change the total cost of each technique, so the firm will continue to use the lowest cost technique 2. This logic also applies to the increase in the sale price to $4.00 and $5.00 respectively. This does not change the cost of each technique, so the firm will continue to employ the lowest cost technique 2. b. Here the answer is different (from that in part a) because total revenue equals $10.00 (= $2 × 5). Here it is unprofitable to produce any output because the least cost technique 2 is $13. c. Here we must first calculate the cost incurred by the firm for each technique. Since the price of each input is $1 per unit, the cost for each technique is just the sum of the inputs used. For example, the cost of technique 1 equals $7 (= $4 (labor) + $1 (land) +$1 (capital) + $1 (entrepreneurial ability) ) Using the same procedure, the total cost of technique 2 equals $7 (=$2 + $3 + $1 + $1) and the total cost of technique 3 equals $8 (= $1 +$4 + $2 + $1). Thus, the least-profitable technique is technique 3. d. The total revenue from this new technique equals $3 (price per bar) multiplied by 3 (units sold and produced), or $9. The total cost of this technique equals the sum of the resource prices, in the table above, because this technique employs one unit of each input. Thus, total cost equals $9 (+ $2 (labor) + $1 (land) + $3 (capital) + $3 (entrepreneurial ability)). Using this new technique economic profit is zero (= $9 (revenue) - $9 (cost)), whereas technique 2 continues to generate $2 of economic profit (= $15 (revenue) -$13 (cost)). Since economic profit is greater using technique 2 the firm will continue to employ this technique.

question

Suppose a firm is producing 400 loaves of banana bread daily. Also, assume that the least-cost combination of resources in producing those loaves is 5 units of labor, 7 units of land, 2 units of capital, and 1 unit of entrepreneurial ability, selling at prices of $40, $60, $60, and $20, respectively. If the firm can sell these 400 units at $2 per unit, will it continue to produce banana bread?

answer

Yes, it will continue to produce banana bread because when the total cost of resources is subtracted from the total cost of the 400 units sold ($800 - $760 = $40), the firm made a profit of $40.

answer

market prices provide information to consumers regarding products they wish to purchase, and to producers regarding products they wish to produce.
