Consider the product mix problem summarized in the table with 3 products (A, B, and C) and 5 types of resources (1,2,3,4,5). There may be multiple workers working in parallel for each resource. Assume that all workers have 8 hours per day. The number of workers in each resource and the times required for each activity (product) in each resource are given in Table 1.

What is the maximum flow rate if demand must be served in the mix determined by the demand rate (7 units of A, 5 units of B, and 4 units of C)?

If there were 2 firms that produced footballs and they both paid the same in wages and raw materials. But firm A produced 100 per week and firm B produced 300 per week while both had an ATC of $10 per football. Then If Firm C built an identical facility and produced 200 footballs per week would the ATC be the same?
Suppose that Bill owns an automobile collision repair shop and the table below shows the quantity of cars repaired per month according to how many workers Bill hires. Assume he pays each worker $5,000 per month and his fixed cost equals $8,000 per month. Using the information provided, complete the table given below. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) Quantity of Workers Quantity of Cars per Month Average Total Cost Fixed Cost Variable Cost Total Cost $8,000 1 20 $ 30 3 40 50 55
2. The relationship between marginal and average costs Consider the following scenario to understand the relationship between marginal and average values. Suppose Latasha is a professional basketball player, and her game log for free throws can be summarized in the following table. Fill in the columns with Latasha's free-throw percentage for each game and her overall free-throw average after each game. Game Game Result Total Game Free-Throw Percentage Average Free-Throw Percentage 1. 8/10 8/10 80 80 6/10 14/20 3 1/5 15/25 4 3/5 18/30 5 8/10 26/40 On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot Latasha's free-throw percentage for each game individually, and use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot her overall average free-throw percentage after each game. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.

Problem 1. Costs for Sedate Sedan, Inc. (adapted from Nicholson). Sedate Sedan, Inc. uses robots and workers to assemble automobiles. There is a diminishing rate of technical substitution between robots and labour: robots do well at tasks that are purely repetitive, while labour does better at jobs that are less boring and require more thought. The various combinations of hours of robot use (r) and hours of labour use (1) needed to assemble sedans are described by the Cobb-Douglas production function: q = f(r,l) = ²√√√² 50 Note that marginal products for this production function are given by: MP: = 1 √r MP₁ Please make sure you know how to calculate them. This production function 100 Vi exhibits diminishing marginal products: the marginal product of robots decreases when more robots are used; the marginal product of labour decreases when more labour is used. The company can rent all the robots it wants for v = 40 dollars per hour and hire all the workers it wants at w = 40 dollars per…

***PLEASE NOTE - An answer is NOT needed for parts A, B and C; these are included to assist with answering part D. Only an answer for part D is required, but it is derived from the previous answers*** Given: A farmer raises peaches using land (K) and labor (L), and has an output of ?(?,?)= ?0.5?0.5 bushels of apples. a. Find several input combinations that give the farmer 6 bushels of apples. Sketch the associated isoquant on a graph, with L on the x-axis and K on the y-axis. b. In the short run, the farmer only has 4 units of land. What is his short-run production function? Graph it for values of L from 0 to 16, with L on the x-axis and output on the y-axis. What is the name of the slope of this curve? c. Assuming the farmer still only has 4 units of land, how much extra output does he get from adding 1 extra unit of labor if he is already using only 1 unit of labor? How much extra output does he get from adding 1 extra unit of labor if he is already using 4 units of labor?…
