Economics of production

1.1 Economic Fundamentals: Identify the factors of production and discuss their importance as the bedrock of the theory of the firm. The factors of production are the inputs used to manufacture products and provide services. These inputs include labor, land, and capital. The theory of the firm is a microeconomic model referring to businesses and corporations and how those entities exist to make profits. Firms interact directly with the market to determine the demand for their goods so they can define the price consumers are willing to pay. Referring to the circular-flow diagram model we can see how households and firms are interdependent. Firms use the factors of production to produce products that households consume. Households provide the…

Literature Review Much of research has studied the concept of the production function of health, which summarizes the relationship between health inputs and outputs. Yet, few of them have analyzed the impact of the economic, social, and environmental factors on the health status of the individuals as well as the society. In this section, we are going to mention some previous researches that are related to this subject: 1. James Thornton 2002: This study provides some new evidence on the effect…

Special Order Results I think taking the special order, if we have excess capacity to do so, would be a positive choice. It would add a $13.25 per burger addition to our operating income if we went with the variable cost structure and a $30.03 increase per burger using the fixed cost structure8. I think that if this was a recurring order, I strongly suggest using the fixed cost structure since the fixed cost are taken care of already regardless of the special order and will only rise if it is…

Economies of Scale of a Manufacturing Plant Economies of scale occur in a manufacturing plant when it costs less per unit to produce or operate higher levels of output produced. This holds true when the production or operating cost does not increase linearly without increase in the output levels and all the fixed costs can be spread over a large number of output units produced. Also true, when operating efficiency increases as training and workers experience improves as well any existing…

categories: explicit and implicit. According to “Principles of Economics”, explicit costs are monies that are paid out in order to run the business and may include such things as wages or rent; while implicit costs “represent the opportunity cost of using resources already owned by the firm.” (OpenStax, 2014, p. 159). My husband and I operate a small business which is a martial arts school. At this company we have explicit costs, our largest explicit costs each month are rent and utilities. We…

same amout of money. We get the slope of the isocost line. The isocost line shows the various combinations of labor and capital a firm can buy with a given price. The slope of isocost line = PL/Pk. In the given equation, the price of labour is indicated by PL and the price of capital is given by PK. The isocost line may change if the amount of money spent to buy factors changes but the slope remains the same. If the capital increases with the decrease in labour, the isocost will remain same.…

and untrained words. Additionally, the authors attempted to determine whether SPT could result in the overgeneralization of targeted sounds to the production of untrained or previously trained phonemes (e.g., if training the production of /k/ would result in the increased substitution of /k/ for other phonemes). The participant in this study was a 62-year-old male who sustained a LCVA and presented with moderate to severe AOS, Broca’s aphasia, and a mild unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria.…

Perfect knowledge: Buyers and sellers are fully aware of the prevailing price in the market. They are also aware of the fact that homogeneous product is being sold in the market. 4. Freedom of Entry and Exit: A firm can enter or leave the industry any time. Is too short for an existing firm to leave the industry or for a new firm to join the industry .Entry or exit is possible only in the long period. 5. Independent Decision-making: There is no agreement between different firms regarding…

they have earned the right to sell their shoes for over $100. Even though their shoes cost hardly anything to make this company is allowed to sell their product for expensive prices and it still be social acceptable with people that will still buy these products. The extra revue is put to use to make more products, as well as innovate to newer ones. Following, is the differential low-cost access to productive inputs, which is when firms are able to access inputs at a lower cost than other…
