National Inc. manufactures two models of CMD that can be used as cell phones, MPX, and digital camcorders. Model Annual Sales in Units High F 10,000 Great P 16,000 National uses a volume-based costing system to apply factory overhead based on direct labor dollars. The unit prime costs of each product were as follows: High F Great P Direct materials $ 38.00 $ 25.40 Direct labor $ 17.52 $ 13.14 Budget factory overhead: Engineering and Design 2,409 engineering hours $ 404,712 Quality Control 12,848 inspection hours 269,808 Machinery 33,726 machine hours 539,616 Miscellaneous Overhead 26,400 direct labor hours 134,904 Total $ 1,349,040 National's controller had been researching activity-based costing and decided to switch to it. A special study determined National's two products have the following budgeted activities: High F Great P Engineering and design hours 969 1,440 Quality control inspection hours 5,648 7,200 Machine hours 20,286 13,440 Labor hours 12,000 14,400 Using activity-based costing, total overhead per unit of the High F model is:

Suppose a firm faces a fixed price of output, 푝푝= 1200. the firm hires workers from a union at a daily wage, 푤푤, to produce output according to the production function 푞푞= 2퐸퐸12. there are 225 workers in the union. any union worker who does not work for this firm is guaranteed to find nonunion employment at a wage of $96 per day. a. what is the firm’s labor demand function? b. if the firm is allowed to choose 푤푤, but then the union decides how many workers to provide (up to 225) at that wage, what wage will the firm set? how many workers will the union provide? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? c. now suppose that the union sets the wage, but the firm decides how many workers to hire at that wage (up to 225). what wage will the union set to maximize the total income of all 225 workers? how many workers will the firm hire? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? [hint: to maximize total income of union, take the first order condition with respect to w and set equal to 0.]
