Suppose a ceiling fan manufacturer has the total cost function c(x) = 48x + 1485 and the total revenue function r(x) = 75x. (a) what is the equation of the profit function p(x) for this commodity? p(x) = (b) what is the profit on 35 units? p(35) = interpret your result. the total costs are less than the revenue. the total costs are more than the revenue. the total costs are exactly the same as the revenue. (c) how many fans must be sold to avoid losing money? fans

Ajustification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. however, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in ohio. in particu- lar, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output). (i) carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question. (ii) does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent of worker characteristics? what are some of those measurable and unmeasurable worker characteristics? (iii) name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity. (iv) if you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? explain.
