Calculating Average Cost from Production Data
A manufacturing firm employs 50 workers, and together they produce 1,000 units of output each day. Each worker is paid a daily nominal wage of $160. Assuming that labor is the firm's only cost and that output per worker is constant, what is the firm's average cost per unit of output?

Formula for Marginal Cost in the Price-Setting Model
A firm operates under a model where labor is the only production cost and the output per worker is constant. If this firm increases the nominal wage it pays to its workers by 10%, while labor productivity remains exactly the same, what is the resulting effect on the firm's average cost per unit?

Calculating Average Cost from Production Data
A manufacturing firm operates in an economic model where labor is the sole input cost. The firm simultaneously increases the nominal wage paid to its workers by 8% and also sees an 8% increase in its labor productivity due to new technology. What is the resulting impact on the firm's average cost per unit of output?
