Assume that quantities do not need to be integers. That is, it is feasible for Andreas to knit 37.5 mittens. You have two employees, Meb and Des, each of whom works for 10 hours a day. Meb can knit 5.2 mittens in an hour. Meb can knit 2 scarves in an hour. Des can knit 1.2 mittens in an hour. Des can knit 1 scarf in an hour. If they are efficiently knitting 18 scarves a day, what is the opportunity cost, in terms of mittens per day, of producing an extra scarf each day. Enter a number (and only a number, no units) rounded to two decimal places. If your answer is 1.275, enter 1.28.

Ben's swim coach estimates that his time, t, in the 100-yard butterfly at a big upcoming meet as a function of the number of yards he swims per week, y, is t = 50+8e-0.00005y Based on this production function, his coach also estimates that if Ben swims 20,000 yards per week, his time will be 52.94 seconds, and he will finish tenth place. If he swims 40,000 yards per week, his time will be 51.08 seconds, and he will come in third. If he swims 60,000 yards per week, his time will be 50.40 seconds, and he will win the meet. Use calculus to determine Ben's marginal productivity of time given the number of yards he practices. Is there diminishing marginal productivity of practice yards? Ben's marginal productivity of swim time given y practice yards (MP) is (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcuts.

Ottis, Inc., uses 640,000 plastic housing units each year in its production of paper shredders. The cost of placing an order is $30. The cost of holding one unit of inventory for one year is $15.00. Currently, Ottis places 160 orders of 4,000 plastic housing units per year. Compute the economic order quantity. Compute the ordering, carrying, and total costs for the EOQ. How much money does using the EOQ policy save the company over the policy of purchasing 4,000 plastic housing units per order?

Technology B uses 4 workers and 2 tonnes of coal to produce 100 meters of cloth. The worker's wages cost $10 and coal costs $5. We have previously calculated that the total cost of production is $50 and that the vertical intercept of the isocost line is 10.If there was a technology that used 1 more worker, how much would it have to decrease the coal required in order to cost the same? (Note: this is the absolute value of the slope of the isocost line.)
