101 Econ Lecture 11 Example 11.1. How should Leroy divide his time between picking apples and writing pulp fiction? A men's magazine will pay Leroy 10 cents per word to write fiction articles. He must decide how to divide his time between writing fiction, which he can do at a constant rate of 200 words per hour, and harvesting apples from the trees growing on his land, a task only he can perform. His return from harvesting apples depends on both the price of apples and the quantity of them he harvests. Earnings aside, Leroy is indifferent between the two tasks. The amount of apples he can harvest depends, as shown in the table below, on the number of hours he devotes to this activity: Hours 1 2 3 4 5 Total bushels 8 4 12 3 15 2 17 1 18 For each hour Leroy spends picking apples, he loses the $20 he could have earned writing pulp fiction. He should thus spend an additional hour picking as long as he will add at least $20 worth of apples to his total harvest. For example, if apples sell for $2.50 per bushel, Leroy would earn $20 for the first hour he spent picking apples, but would earn only an additional $10 if he spent a second hour. Thus, at a price of $2.50 per bushel, Leroy would allocate 1 hour to picking apples, during which time he will harvest 8 bushels. If the price of apples then rose to $5 per bushel, it would pay Leroy to devote a second hour to picking, which would mean a total of 12 bushels of apples. Once the price of apples reached $6.67 per bushel, he would devote a third hour to picking apples, for a total of 15 bushels. If the price rose to $10 per bushel, he would pick for four hours and get 17 bushels. And, finally, once the price of apples reached $20 per bushel, Leroy would supply five hours of apple-picking services, and would harvest 18 bushels of apples. Leroy's individual supply curve for apples relates the amount of apples he is willing to supply at various prices. Hours 1 2 3 4 5 Total bushels 8 4 12 3 15 2 17 1 18 Additional bushels 8 Additional bushels 8 P ($/bu) 20.00 Leroy's supply curve for apples 10.00 6.67 5.00 2.50 8 12 15 18 17 Q (bu/day) An Individual Supply Curve for Apples 2 Market Supply The quantity that corresponds to any given price on the market supply curve is the sum of the quantities supplied at that price by all individual sellers in the market. Example 11.2. If the supply side of the apple market consisted of 100 suppliers just like Leroy, what would the market supply curve for apples look like? P ($/bu) 20.00 Market supply curve for apples 10.00 6.67 5.00 2.50 8 12 15 18 17 Q (100s of bu/day) The Market Supply Curve for Apples As noted earlier, the typical individual supply curve is upward sloping, at least in the short run, for two reasons: 1. The Fruit Picker's Rule (Always pick the low-hanging fruit first). When fruit prices are low, it might pay to harvest the low-hanging fruit but not the fruit growing higher up the tree, which takes more effort to get to. But if fruit prices rise sufficiently, it will pay to harvest not only the low-hanging fruit, but also the fruit on higher branches. 2. Differences among suppliers in opportunity cost People facing unattractive employment opportunities in other occupations may be willing to pick apples even when the price of apples is low. Those with more attractive options will pick apples only if the price of apples is relatively high. Profit-Maximizing Firms and Perfectly Competitive Markets Definition. The profit earned by a firm is the total revenue it receives from the sale of its product minus all costs--explicit and implicit--incurred in producing it. Definition. A profit-maximizing firm is one whose primary goal is to maximize the difference between its total revenues and total costs. Definition. A perfectly competitive market is one in which no individual supplier has significant influence on the market price of the product. Wheat Market Photocopying Market Definition. A price taker is a firm that has no influence over the price which at it sells its product. Wheat farmers, Kinko's. Contrast with price setter: Microsoft operating systems, Intel microprocessors Definition. A factor of production is an input used in the production of a good or service. Definition. A fixed factor of production is an input whose quantity cannot be altered in the short run. Definition. A variable factor of production is an input whose quantity can be altered in the short run. Example. Louisville Slugger uses two inputs, labor (e.g., woodworkers) and capital (e.g., lathes, tools, buildings), to transform raw materials (e.g., lumber) into output (baseball bats). Labor is a variable input and capital is a fixed input. Total number of employees per day 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Total number of bats per day 0 40 100 130 150 165 175 181 3 Note in the right column that output gains begin to diminish with the third employee. Economists refer to this pattern as the law of diminishing returns, and it always refers to situations in which at least some factors of production are fixed. Here, the fixed factor is the lathe, and the variable factor is labor. Some Important Cost Concepts Suppose the lease payment for the Louisville Slugger's lathe and factory is $80 per day. This payment is both a fixed cost (since it does not depend on the number of bats per day the firm makes) and, for the duration of the lease, a sunk cost. The company's payment to its employees is called variable cost, because unlike fixed cost, it varies with the number of bats the company produces. The firm's total cost is the sum of its fixed and variable costs. The firm's marginal cost, finally, is the change in total cost divided by the corresponding change in output. Louisville slugger pays each employee a wage of $24/day. Example 11.3. For each level of employment, calculate Louisville Slugger's output, fixed cost, variable cost, total cost and marginal cost. Employees per day 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Bats per day 0 40 100 130 150 165 175 181 Fixed cost ($/day) 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 Variable cost ($/day) 0 24 48 72 96 120 144 168 Total cost ($/day) 80 0.60 104 0.40 128 0.80 152 1.20 176 1.60 200 2.40 224 4.00 248 Marginal cost ($/bat) Choosing Output to Maximize Profit If a company's goal is to maximize its profit, it should continue to expand its output as long as the marginal benefit from expanding is at least as great as the marginal cost. Example 11.4. Suppose the wholesale price of each bat (net of lumber and other materials costs) is $2.50. How many bats should Louisville Slugger produce? If we compare this marginal benefit ($2.50 per bat) with the marginal cost entries shown in table, we see that the firm should keep expanding until it reaches 175 bats per day (6 employees per day). To confirm that the cost-benefit principle thus applied identifies the profit-maximizing number of bottles to produce, we can calculate profit levels directly: Employees per day 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Output (bats/day) 0 40 100 130 150 165 175 181 Total revenue ($/day) 0 100 250 325 375 412.50 437.50 452.50 Total cost ($/day) 80 104 128 152 176 200 224 248 Profit ($/day) -80 -4 122 173 199 212.50 213.50 204.50 4 Again note that 6 employees corresponds to the maximum-profit level of output. 5 When the law of diminishing returns applies (that is, when some factors of production are fixed), marginal cost goes up as the firm expands production beyond some point. Under these circumstances, the firm's best option is to keep expanding output as long as marginal cost is less than price. Note in Example 11.4 that if the company's fixed cost had been any more than $293.50 per day, it would have made a loss at every possible level of output. As long as it still had to pay its fixed cost, however, its best bet would have been to continue producing 175 bats per day, because a smaller loss is better than a larger one. If a firm in that situation expected conditions to remain the same, it would want to get out of the bat business as soon as its equipment lease expired.
