Student Enterprises sells two sizes of wall posters, a large 3- by 4-foot poster and a smaller 2- by 3-foot poster. The profit earned from the sale of each large poster is $3; each smaller poster earns $2. The firm, although profitable, is not large; it consists of one art student, Jan Meising, at the University of Kentucky. Because of her classroom schedule, Jan has the following weekly constraints: (1) up to three large posters can be sold, (2) up to five smaller posters can be sold, and (3) up to 10 hours can be spent on posters during the week, with each large poster requiring 2 hours of work and each smaller one taking 1 hour. With the semester almost over, Jan plans on taking a 3-month summer vacation to England and doesn’t want to leave any unfinished posters behind. Find the integer solution that will maximize her profit.
1/3 1/3 Assume y = f(x1, x2) = x1 x2 . If the input prices are w₁ and w₂ what is profit maximizing y level of output? What is the profit?
Consider a small landscaping company run by Mr. Viemeister. He is considering increasing his firm’s capacity. If he adds one more worker, the firm’s total monthly revenue will increase from $50,000 to $62,000. If he adds one more tractor, monthly revenue will increase from $50,000 to $58,000. Each additional worker costs $4,000 per month, while an additional tractor would also cost $4,000 per month. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. a. What is the marginal revenue product of labor? $ The marginal revenue product of capital? $ b. What is the ratio of the marginal revenue product of labor to the price of labor (MRPL/PL)? : What is the ratio of the marginal revenue product of capital to the price of capital (MRPC/PC)? :

A competitive firm’s production function is given by y= f(x1,x2)=x1ax2b If a=b=0.5 , the price of factor 1 is 12, and the price of factor 2 is 3, find the cost minimizing input combinations and the total cost of producing 40 units of output. Redo part (1), this time by first deriving the firm’s conditional factor demand functions and the cost function.
A gardener is trying to maximize profit by growing tomatoes (T) and carrots(C) with fertilizer(F). The production functions are: Tomatoes: T = 70F₁ - 1.5F-² Carrots: C = 90Fc - 2Fc² Constraint: FT + Fc = 60 The profit is $0.50 per tomato and $0.25 per carrot. There are 60 units of fertilizer available. How much fertilizer should go to the tomatoes?

Increasing returns and imperfect competition: (a) The production function for the word processor is Y = X – 100 million if X is larger than 100 million, and zero otherwise. By spending $100 million, you create the first copy, and then $1 must be spent distributing it (say for the DVD it comes on). For each dollar spent over this amount, you can create another copy of the software. (b) The production function is plotted in Figure 6.5. Output is zero whenever X is less than 100 million. Does this production function exhibit increasing returns? Yes. We spend $100 million (plus $1) to get the first copy, but doubling our spending will lead to 100 million copies (plus 2). So there is a huge degree of increasing returns here. Graphically, this can be seen by noting that the production function “curves up” starting from an input of zero, a common characteristic of production functions exhibiting increasing returns. (Constant returns would be a straight line starting…
