Question 10
a) A firm has been contracted to produce a total of 1900 units of two goods Q₁ and Q₂.
The joint total cost equation for the production of the goods is given as:
C(Q₁ Q₂) = 100Q₁ + Q1Q2 + 100Q2. The corresponding demand equations are:
P₁ = 500-Q₁+1.5Q2 and P₂ = 300+ 1.5Q1-Q₂
@ 30%
Where: P, is the price of good 1 and P₂ is the price of good 2.
