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.
Coca cola uses labour(L) and capital (k) in its production process. It estimates that the production function facing it is given by Q= K0.5 L0.5. The company can sell a bottle of coke at GH4. The cost of a machine is GH3 and that of Man- hour is GH5. The firm's total cost if production at the end of production is expected to be GH 3000. Required: Determine The optimal level of capital and labour usage The firm’s firm’s profit at the optimal levels of capital and labour usage The firm’s elasticity of output with respect to labour and capital and interpret it

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)? :

The manager of Don Teeta Company Limited hires labour (L) and rents capital equipment (K) ina very competitive market. Currently, the wage rate of labour is GH¢2 per hour and capital isrented at GH¢5 per hour, the unit price of the product is GH¢0.75 and total cost of production isGH¢1,000. Suppose the firm’s production function (Q) is as follows:? = 14?0.5?0.5 + 10Determine the optimal input usage and the maximum profit.
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.
Polyoak Containers produces milk cartons that are sold to dairy distributors. Polyoak has estimated this production function for its milk carton division: Q = 20L0.6K0.4, where Q = output measured in one thousand carton lots, L = labour measured in person hours, and K = capital measured in machine hours. Polyoak currently pays a wage of R10 per hour and considers the relevant rental price for capital to be R25 per hour. Determine the optimal capital-labour ratio that Polyoak should use in the milk carton division.
