A company producing cell phone cases uses either rubber (y) or plastic (zą) with the following production function: y=2+2. where y stands for the number of cases produced, and zy and a stand for, respectively, the amount of rubber and the amount of plastic used (both in ounces). v 1st attempt See Hint Suppose the firm has signed a contract to purchase 180 ounces of rubber. This contract must be honored. Furthermore, the rubber has a very short shelf life if not used for production. That is, if the rubber is not used immediately, it will be wasted. Let wy be the price of an ounce of rubber, and we be the price of an ounce of plastic. Suppose the firm wants to make 430 cell phone cases. The conditional factor demand for ounces of plastic totals 5, and zero otherwise. if ▾

The Nike accounting firm analyzes the price-demand relationship toconclude that x thousand shoes will sell if offered for a unit price (in dollars) of p(x) = 130−0.1x. Suppose further that the total cost of production was tracked to be $530,000 up until production of the first thousand shoes, and that this cost increased linearly to $560,000 by the time of production ofthe 2000th shoe. Find the following quantities, and interpret your results(describe what these quantities represent). a) Marginal revenue when x= 100 b) Average profit when x= 500

A cookshop hires two chefs. The workload, equipment and materials are evenly distributed. The result is a significant increase in the marginal number of lunch dishes made daily. Then 2 more chefs are hired. Now the workload per chef is lessened and there are conflicts over the use of materials and equipment. There is still an increase in the marginal number of lunch dishes made daily, but the increase occurs at a slower rate than before. This is an example of:
