The future of Trinidad and Tobago cocoa industry- August 5". 2020 [adapted from theTrinidad and Tobago Express newspaper]The announcement last Wednesday of the launch of Angostura's new cocoa Bitters is a good exampleof the future of the sector as a whole in Trinidad and Tobago: a dynamic bringing together of thehistory and heritage of the cocoa sector in T&T blended into a distinctive bottle. It is a very excitingproject that should act as an ambassador for promoting Trinitario globally.There is an opportunity in finding unique products, working with unique brands and creating a uniqueexperience. In short, getting our cocoa to be used in different places and in different ways. That couldbe bitters or it could be a range of culinary applications and distinctive value-added products likefrozen desserts, in coffee houses and ice creams. Everyone makes a chocolate bar. We in T&T can doso much more than that.Indeed, Trinidad & Tobago Fine Cocoa Company (TTFCC) is mentioned as an innovative chocolatecompany in the Caribbean region by the Lonely Planet Global Chocolate Tour. There is no reason whyT&T should not be able to capitalise on initiatives like this. We have the expertise; we have theequipment and we have the creativity so let's go!Unique experiences involve taking the consumer to experience something of origin. Allowingsomeone to go on a holiday through taste and storytelling. In Trinidad and Tobago, the future is beingable to do that. How we do that is to work on improving our online retailing, having consumers beallowed to access our products anywhere in the world and be able to ship anywhere in the world. Thishas been achieved by TTFCC through its partnership with DHL and there is no reason why anyoneelse can't do that.

Problem 3. Maria Bakery sells cupcakes. The production of cupcakes takes both raw ingredients, and l is hours of labor. The daily production function for cupcakes is given by q = ½ * g * l + l^2 - 20 where output is in dozens of cupcakes, g is poinds of raw ingredients, and l is hours of labor. The cost of a pound of raw ingredients is pg = $1 while the cost of an hour of labor is pl = $12. What is the optimal ‘number’ of pounds of raw ingredients to use per hour of labor? (Hint: Consider the marginal productivity of investment of the inputs.) A standard day requires about 25 dozen cupcakes to be make. What is the cost minimizing production plan for 25 dozen cupcakes? (Hint: Find the cost minimizing l and g such that dq = 25.) How much will this cost?
Q.2 - a) Explain the five fundamental questions that economics attempts to answer. b) What is the difference between a production function and an isoquant? c) Distinguish between individual firm's supply curve and market supply curve. d) What is a production function? How does a long-run production function differ from a short- run production function?
Please don't copy ans Economics You are the owner of a motorbike company that currently has two different factories, an old one and a new one. The old factory uses an old technology that requires large amounts of labor to produce motorbikes. The production technology for the old firm is given by Fo(L) = m*L^1/2 . The new factory uses a much more modern production technology given by Fn(L) = n*L^1/2 . a. What are costs as a function of output for each individual factory? b. Suppose that you want to produce 1000 motorbikes. How many motorbikes will you produce at the old factory and how many will you produce at the new factory? c. Derive an expression for the total cost of producing y motorbikes (assuming that you always divide production between the factories in the optimal way). How does this cost function compare to the individual factory cost functions? d. It turns out that you can upgrade your old factory to make it just as efficient as the new factory. To pay…
KA. A firm produces output with the production function, Q = F(K, L) = K0.5 L0.5 with r=4 and w= 2. The firm is using K=16 and just enough L to produce 16 units of output in the short run. How much could the firm save if it were producing 16 units in the long run?

Q1: Usher Dash is president of Dash Manufacturing, a producer of Go-Kart tires. Dash makes 870,000 tires per day with the following resources: Labor 1670 hours per day @ 225 per hour Raw Material 900,000 pounds per day @ Rs.10 per pound Energy Rs.87,000 per day Capital Rs.560,000 per day a) What is the labor productivity per labor hour for these tires? b) What is the multifactor productivity for these tires? c) What is the percentage change in multifactor productivity if Upton can reduce the energy bill by Rs.13,000 per day without cutting production or changing any other input? What is the capital productivity per tire per rupee?
Briefly explain (a) Why the producer prefers stage 2 in production process.
Consider a production process where flowers are grown (the output) using gardeners (labor) and greenhouses (capital). The quantity of flowers grown per day with various combinations of labor and capital are shown in the table below. Suppose that each gardener is paid $200 per day and the greenhouse is rented for $500 per day. Fill in total cost in the table below. (Enter your responses as integers.) Labor Capital Output Total Cost 0 1 0 $ 1 1 160 2 1 480 3 1 640 4 1 720 5 1 760
