The cost of producing x units of a product during amonth is x2 dollars. Find the minimum cost method ofproducing 60 units during the next three months. Can yougeneralize this result to the case where the cost of producingx units during a month is an increasing convex function?
3. The chief economist for Argus Corporation, a large appliance manufacturer, estimated the firm's short-run cost function for vacuum cleaners using an average variable cost function of the form AVC = a + bQ + cQ² where AVC = dollars per vacuum cleaner and Q = number of vacuum cleaners pro- duced each month. Total fixed cost each month is $180,000.

2. A rancher faces the profit function =1100, -30-20, +1400, -20,0, where Qu = side of beef and Q = hides. Since there are two sides of beef for every hide, it foilows that output must be in the proportion Q1=202. (a) At what level of output will the rancher maximise profit? (b) Confirm that at the critical outputs the profit is maximised
2) A firm is a monopoly for the good it produces. Its average variable cost function is AVC = q + 4 and it has fixed costs of 1. The demand equation for its good is given by q = 20-p. Find expressions, in terms of q, for the total revenue and profit functions. Determine the production level q that gives the maximum profit. Also, find this maximum profit.
Suppose that for a product in a competitive market the demand function is p = 1200 - 2x and the supply function is p = 200 + 2x , where x is the number of units and p is in dollars. A firm's average cost function for this product is overline C (x)= 12000 x +50+x . Find the maximum profit. Sketch the graphs of the revenue, cost and profit functions on the same set of coordinate axes (Hint: First find the equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price by equalizing the functions of supply and demand.) [P(x)=R(x)-C(x)=p* x- overline C (x)* x where p = equilibrium price.)
2.b. Given a monopsony's production function Q = 45L - 0.25L², market wage function w = 10 + 3L, and price of the Q in the product market P = 10, calculate the extent of monopsonistic exploitation if firm is profit maximizing. Using your calculated values, graphically illustrate and discuss your results.
Suppose that a company has received an order for 200 units of its product and wishes to distribute its production between two of its plants, Plant 1 and Plant 2. Let x and y be the outputs of plants 1 and 2, respectively, and suppose that the function of total cost is given by c = f(x,y) = 2x2 + xy + y2 + 200 How should production be distributed to minimize costs? What would you do if now instead of 1 restriction, you had 2 restrictions?
Now suppose in a competitive market the demand function is p+1200-2x and the supply function is p =200+2x. Suppose a firms average cost is C(X) =100/x +150 +x. Find the number x to make, to maximize profit. how much is that maximim profit?
