A small company that shovels sidewalks and driveways has 100 homes signed up for its services this winter. It can use various combinations of capital and labor: intensive labor with hand shovels, less labor with snow blowers, and still less labor with a pickup truck that has a snowplow on front. To summarize, the method Choices are: Method 1: 50 units of labor, 10 units of capital Method 2: 20 units of labor, 40 units of capital Method 3: 10 units of labor, 70 units of capital If hiring labor for the winter costs $100/unit and a unit of capital costs 400, what is the best production method? What method should the company use if the cost of labor rises to $20/unit?
A- what is prodcution technology? and give an example for the concept. B- What is the labor-intensive technology and what is the capital-intensive technology? explain the difference by providing for each concept an example. And thank you!

A farmer has 8 hectares of agricultural land. The farmer will plant the land with rice and corn. 3 tons of rice can be harvested from 1 hectare of rice field, while 4 tons of corn can be harvested from 1 hectare of corn field. This farmer wants to get a yield of no less than 30 tonnes. If the cost of planting 1 hectare of rice field is 500 thousand and the cost of planting 1 hectare of corn field is 600 thousand. Then what is the minimum cost that must be incurred by the farmer?

During the night, the electricity sector has a marginal cost of $1/MWh (megawatt-hour) forthe first 100 MWh produced (from wind turbines), and $20/MWh for each additional unit (from gasgenerators). During the day, they have a marginal cost of $1/MWh (megawatt-hour) for the first 50MWh produced (from solar panels), and $20/MWh for each additional unit (from gas generators).Nighttime and daytime demand are given by QnightD = 50 −P and QdayD = 200 −P , respectively.What are the market quantity and price during the day, and the market quantity and price at night?This is a model of the wholesale market for electricity, which you can think of as being competitive,but there is no resale between night and day.
