**Title: Understanding the Cobb-Douglas Production Function**

The Cobb-Douglas production function for a particular product is given by:

\[ N(X, Y) = 60X^{0.6}Y^{0.4} \]

where \( X \) is the number of units of labor and \( Y \) is the number of units of capital required to produce \( N \) units of the product.

- Each unit of labor costs $60.
- Each unit of capital costs $120.

If the budget for production is $300,000, determine how this amount should be allocated to maximize production.

Expert Solution
Step 1

N(x, y) =60x0.6y0.4

cost=60x+120y

300,000=60x+120y

5000=x+2y

we need to maximize N for given constraint:

N=60x0.65000-x20.4

N'=d60x0.65000-x20.4dx
