Question 4

Question 5
A firm's production function is given by Q = 2L^0.5H^0.5, where Q is output, L is labor, and H is capital. If the firm increases labor from 100 to 121 units, and capital from 100 to 121 units, by how much will output increase?
Question 6

Question 7
A firm produces two goods, X and Y, u\sing two inputs, labor and capital. The production function for good X is given by QX = 10L^0.5K^0.5, where QX is the quantity of good X produced, L is the amount of labor used, and K is the amount of capital used. If the firm uses 100 units of labor and 100 units of capital, what is the marginal product of labor?
Question 8
A firm's production function is given by Q = 100K^\( 1/2 \)L^\( 1/2 \), where Q is output, K is capital and L is labor. If the firm's capital and labor inputs are increased by 20% and 15% respectively, what is the percentage change in output?
Question 9
A government imposes a tax of ₦10 on a good that is currently priced at ₦20. If the demand for the good is given by Q = 100 - 2P, what is the new equilibrium price?
Question 10
A firm's production function is given by Q = 2L^0.5K^0.5, where Q is the quantity produced, L is the amount of labor used, and K is the amount of capital used. If the firm uses 100 units of labor and 100 units of capital, what is the marginal product of capital?
Question 11
A country's imports and exports are given by the following equations: I = 100 + 2Y and X = 50 + 0.5Y, where Y is the country's GDP. If the country's GDP is ₦500 billion, what is the balance of trade?
Question 12
A firm's production function is given by Q = 100K^\( 1/2 \)L^\( 1/2 \), where Q is output, K is capital and L is labor. If the firm's capital and labor inputs are increased by 20% and 15% respectively, what is the percentage change in output?
Question 13
A monopolistically competitive firm faces a demand curve that is downward sloping. If the firm increases its output, what happens to its price?
Question 14
A consumer's demand curve for a good is given by Q = 100 - 2P. If the consumer's income is ₦100 and the price of the good is ₦50, what is the consumer's optimal quantity?
Question 15
A firm produces two goods, X and Y, u\sing two inputs, labor (L) and capital (K). The production functions are given by X = 2L + 3K and Y = 4L + 2K. If the firm has 10 units of labor and 5 units of capital, what is the total output?
