Blake&Sons run a business of manufacturing animal trackers in Lansing, Michigan. It employs a total of 60 workers for $30 per hour wage rate. Expenses incurred on materials including metal and wiring sum up to $2800. Miscellaneous costs like energy and infrastructure are half of material costs.In January, the firm produced 10,000 trackers, with each employee working for 10 hours. If each tracker is sold for $20, find the following:a) Labor productivity per hourb) Labor productivity per dollarc) Multifactor productivity (Output income)d) Multifactor productivity (Output units)
Let f(x1, x2) = (min{x1 − x1})α1(min{x2 − x2})α2where x1, x2 > 0 are interpreted as minimum requirements of inputs needed for thefirm to operate, and α1, α2 > 0, with α1 + α2 = β < 1. Draw some isoquants, and obtain the cost function and the conditional demands for inputs. min {x-xbar} means {0, x-bar}

Suppose that the production function takes the form X = min(10L, 5K) and that a competitive firm faces a wage rate of £60 per week and a weekly capital rental of £32. (a) How much must the firm spend to produce 100 units of output, and what is the average cost of production when X = 100? (b) What is the incremental cost of producing the 101st unit of output? (c) What happens to the cost of producing 100 units of output if the wage rate and the rental cost of capital rise by 25 per cent each? What happens to the average and marginal cost? (d) What happens to the cost of producing 100 units of output if the wage rate increases by £1, or if the cost of capital increases by £1?

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?
