Suppose Firm A produces plastic straws (Q) using workers (N) and machines (K) as inputs. Firm A's production function is such that Q = 2KENE. Assume that the price of a unit of plastic straws is $1 and the number of machines is fixed such that K-1. For all of the following sub-questions, assume K=1 always holds and the time horizon is in the short run Note: If your numerical answer does not divide cleanly into an integer, either express it as simplified fractions or round it to the nearest tenth decimal (Simplified fractions are preferred but not necessary). a) (1 point) Solve for Firm A's labor demand function. For which values of N does the firm operate in the industry and demand labor? Hint. When will the firm decide it is no longer worth selling plastic straws in the market and it is better to close down its operations? b) (1 point) Suppose there are 270 identical firms (including Firm A) in the plastic straw industry that are exactly the same as Firm A. Solve for the industry's aggregate labor demand function.
