8. electronics manufacturer se must decide whether or not to invest in the development of a new type of battery. if the development succeeds, the market for the battery may be large or small. if it doesn't succeed, the development efforts may or may not generate minor innovations that would offset some of the battery's development costs. the tree below summarizes the decision. the emv of developing the new battery is $300,000. based on emv, se should develop the battery. given that development is successful, for what endpoint values for a large market does developing the battery have a lower emv than not developing the battery?

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.]
