(b) A garment factory’s production function is provided in the table.The gross profit per unit (difference between selling price and material cost, but not including the cost of labour) is $100. # Workers Output 1 20 2 36 3 48 4 56 5 60 6 62 (i) If the wage rate is $1,000 a week, how many workers should the factory hire? (ii) If a surge in popularity for the factory’s brand allows them to raise the product price such that the gross profit rises to $150, how many workers will the factory hire now? (iii) Calculate the number of garments produced in each of the two cases above. I would like questions i,ii,iii answered please.

6. Zenande believes the production of a dress requires 10 labour hours and 5 machine hours to produce. If she decides to operate in the short run, she must spend R5000 to lease her business space. It has also been determined that a labour hour costs R500 and a machine hour costs R1000. Which of the following is Zenande's cost of production as a function of dresses produced? a) C(q) = 10000+ 5000q. C(q) = 5000+ 5000q. b) c) C(q) = 5000+ 10000q. C(q) = 5000+ 1500q. d)
5) If Hilltop Turf Farm's total cost of producing acres of sod is TC = 0.202 + 1200 + 5,000, the marginal cost of producing the fiftieth 50th acre of sod is a) $110. b) $120. C) $130. d) $140. e) $150.
5. A toy factory has an annual demand for 20,000 of tops. It cost $1.50 to store one top per year. It costs $500 for each production set-up for these tops and $3.50 to manufacture a single top. Find the total cost function. fM Total Cost of Production is: T(g) = : + gM +, where q is number of units per productionm run; k is cost of storing 2 one item per year; g is cost of manufacturing a single unit of the product; f is fixed set-up cost for a production run; M is total demand of units per year. Given Constants Total Cost Function Find the optimum number of tops per batch as well as the number of batches per year. optimum number of tops optimum number of batches Find the total cost for this optimum production schedule. Optimum Total Cost
1. A firm estimates its production function as Q = -2.4 + 20*L -.5*L< + 30*K -1.00*K2 + 15*F -.3*F<. Total cost is TC = $2*L+ $2.5*K + $1.75*F. The firm wishes to produce 400 units of output. Use Excel to find the cost minimizing amounts of L, K and F. How much F (Fuel) should the firm use? A.F=7.90. B.F=9.58. C.F=10.75. D.F=12.63. E. F=14.88.
