The biological relationship between the growth for the fish population and the size of the fish population is g= 12S(1-S/4) where g is the growth of the fish population and S is the size of the population. The size of the harvest is a function of the amount of human effort expended b = 3ES where E is the level of effort. Market price of fish per unit is $100 and a constant marginal cost of effort is $40. The efficient sustained effort level, E e= Hint: Write the number in one decimal place.

.A company can sell its only product and in a perfectly competitive market at a price of 15. To produce it, it must purchase two production inputs: labor (x1) and machinery (x2). Initially, the company only has 1 machine and it is not possible to change this in the short term. Inputs are purchased in competitive markets with respective prices (w1, w2) = (5,10). The production function is as follows: 3 2/3 1/3 f(x,x2) a) Present the problem of maximization of the company. b) Find the first order condition that must be solved to find the optimal level of supplies. c) Find the optimal input level x1 that the company must contract in the above problem to maximize your profits.
suppose noW that the firm must pay a fixed cost of ē > 0 in order to produce (e.g., this could be the cost of buying a manufacturing plant). If the firm chooses not to produce at all, it does not incur the fixed cost. If it chooses to produce any strictly positive quantity, it must incur the full fixed cost of č. Suppose p = w = r = 4. When will the firm choose to produce a strictly positive amount of the good Y? Write down the firm's supply and profit functions.

For firm A, is the following an internal or external economy of scale? Firm A benefits from lower administration costs per unit as a result of opening a second factory.
In a fishery the long-run harvest function (harvest volume) is H(E) = aE – bE², with a, b representing positive constants and E is fishing effort. - Total cost is TC(E)= cE,with c being the unit cost of effort. Total revenue is TR(E) = pH(E), with p being the constant price of fish. Suppose that, because of an increase in world demand, the price of the fish from this fishery rises significantly. • Illustrate and explain the impact of this price-increase on the fish stock and the competitive level of effort (or employment) in the fishery. What can be said about the long-run impact on the fish catch? Is it positive, negative, or indeterminate? Explain.

The water Economist has estimated short run water responsiveness function for rice farming under major irrigation condition in the Dry Zone of "x" counry as follows;Y = 21W +30.3W2 – 3W3, Where Y = Output (paddy kg /Acre) , W = irrigation Water (Cubic Meter – m3) a) Determine three stages of this short run production process and graphically show the result. b) Determine rational production stage and what is the maximum and minimum output level of this rational stage. c) Determine the range of water level which is representing the low of diminishing marginal returns.
The production of a product is characterised by the function f(x, y) = 16x/4y3/4, where x is the number of units of labour and y is the number of units of capital needed to produce f(x, y) units of the product. Each unit of labour costs £50 and each unit of capital costs £100. You are given a budget of £500,000 and are asked to calculate the number of units of labour that maximise the production. Enter your answer as an integer. Answer:
For each of the following production functions Q = f(K,L), find the marginal productivity with respect to K and L a) Q = 5KL – 2K² – 2L² at K = 1 and L = 1 %3D 1 b) Q = 0.03K³ – 0.4KL + 0.5L7 at K = 8 and L = 4 -
Which agricultural enterprise is relatively more efficient? Interpret all three derived economic parameters (breakeven yield, cost to produce a kilogram, and net profit) and discuss.
Let y = f(x1, x2)=x11/2 + x1x2 be a firm’s production function, where x1≥0, x2≥0. Write down the firm’s production possibility set, and its input requirement set. Is this production function concave, quasi-concave? Is this production function homogenous? Find its returns to scale when x1=1, and x2=1.
