With current technology suppose a firm is producing 800 loav

With current technology, suppose a firm is producing 800 loaves of banana bread daily. Also assume that the least-cost combination of resources in producing those loaves is 6 units of labor, 5 units of land, 4 units of capital, and 2 units of entrepreneurial ability, selling at prices of $40, $60, $60, and $20 per unit, respectively.

If the firm can sell these 800 units at $1 per unit, will it continue to produce banana bread?

Solution

Revenue = 800*1 = $800

cost = 40*6+60*5+60*4+20*2=$820

profit or loss = 800-820 = -$20

loss of $20

since they are making a loss they will not continue to produce
