Cost-Effective Technology Selection

Cost Minimization and Technology Choice

A manufacturing firm determines that an energy-intensive production method is its most cost-effective option given current input prices. If a new regulation causes the price of energy and the cost of labor to both increase by exactly 20%, the firm should switch to a less energy-intensive method to minimize its production costs.

A firm can produce a specific quantity of output using two different methods. Technology B is labor-intensive, requiring 4 workers and 2 tons of coal. Technology A is energy-intensive, requiring 1 worker and 6 tons of coal. Initially, the daily wage is $10 per worker and the price of coal is $15 per ton. Which of the following scenarios would make the energy-intensive Technology A the more cost-effective option for the firm?
