- The Cobb-Douglas production function is a classic model from economics used to model output as a function of capital and labor. It has the form f(L, C) = CL1C2 where co, C₁, and c₂ are constants. The variable L represents the units of input of labor and the variable C represents the units of input of capital. (a) In this example, assume co = 5, C₁ = 0.25, and C₂ = 0.75. Assume each unit of labor costs $25 and each unit of capital costs $75. With $65,000 available in the budget, develop an optimization model for determining how the budgeted amount should be allocated between capital and labor in order to maximize output. Max s.t. L, C ≥ 0 $ ≤ 65,000 (b) Find the optimal solution to the model you formulated in part (a). What is the optimal solution value (in dollars)? Hint: Put bound constraints on the variables based on the budget constraint. Use L≤ 3,000 and C ≤ 1,000 and use the Multistart option as described in Appendix 8.1. (Round your answers to the nearest integer when necessary.)…arrow_forwardFrom 1950 through 2005, the per capita consumption C of cigarettes by Americans (age 18 and older) can be modeled by C = 3565.0 + 60.30t − 1.783t2, 0 ≤ t ≤ 55, where t is the year, with t = 0 corresponding to 1950. In 2005, the U.S. population (age 18 and over) was 296,329,000. Of those, about 59,858,458 were smokers. What was the average annual cigarette consumption per smoker in 2005?

- Consider a water tank that is being filled with rainfall at the top and is drained through a small hole at the bottom. The change in volume can be modelled by considering the amount of water entering and leaving the tank (per unit of time) as follows fin - fout. Here volume of water in the tank V is in litres, flow rate in fin is in litres per hour, flow rate out fout is in litres per hour and time t is in hours. Initially, the tank contains 50L of water: V(0) = 50. dV dt (a) Assume the rainfall throughout the day is getting heavier, such that, fin(t) = 10+t and that the tank is losing 10% of its volume of water per hour, such that, fout (V) = 0.1V. Check by direct substitution that the function (b) with time: V(t) = 10(t + 5e-0.1t) satisfies the ODE and the initial condition. Now assume that the hole is slowly growing in size, so that the flow rate out increases fout (V, t) = 0.1(1+0.1t)V. Solve the ordinary differential equation for V(t) with this flow ra e out, using either…arrow_forwardThe farm population has declined dramatically in the years since World War II, and with that decline, rural school districts have been faced with consolidating in order to be economically efficient. One researcher studied data from the early 1960s on expenditures for high schools ranging from 150 to 2400 in enrollment.+ He considered the cost per pupil as a function of the number of pupils enrolled in the high school, and he found the following approximate formula, where n is the number of pupils enrolled and C is the cost, in dollars, per pupil.

O The…arrow_forwardThe amount of vegetation eaten in a day by a grazing animal is a function of the amount V of food available (measured as biomass in units such as pounds per acre). This relationship is called the functional response. If there is little vegetation available, the daily intake will be small, since the animal will have difficulty finding and eating the food. As the food biomass increases, so does the daily intake. Clearly, though, there is a limit to the amount the animal will eat, regardless of the amount of food available. This maximum amount eaten is the satiation level. In addition to the kangaroos, the major grazing mammals of Australia include merino sheep and rabbits. For sheep the functional response is S = 2.8 - 2.8e -a.aiv and for rabbits it is H= 0.2 - 0,2e -0.00sV Here S and H are the daily intake (measured in pounds), and Vis the vegetation biomass (measured in pounds per acre).
