Exercise 6
Imagine that you head production of a multinational food processing company. The ongoing uncer-
tainty about costs means that you are unsure of the future cost of one of your inputs, x2. Your firm's
production function is
y = f(x1, x2) = x²x²²
The output price p is 1000, x1 = 27, and wx₁ = 60.
1. Suppose the current input price is Wx2
=
50. Solve for the optimal choice of x2.
2. Now suppose that the probability the input price remains 50 is 0.65 and the probability that
Wx2
60 is 0.35. Solve for the optimal choice of x2. Round down to the nearest integer.
=
3. Finally, suppose the costs do actually rise, i.e., Wx2 = 60. Calculate the difference in profit from
the uncertainty in (2) vs. the certainty in (1).

1. Suppose a health expenditure function is specified in the following manner:
E = 500 + 0.2Y
where E represents annual health care expenditures per capita and Y stands for income per capita.
a. Using the slope of the health expenditure function, predict the change in per capita health care expenditures
that would result from a $1,000 increase in per capita income.
b. Compute the level of per capita health care spending when per capita income takes on the following dollar
values: 0; 1,000; 2,000; 4,000; and 6,000.
c. Using the resulting values for per capita health care spending in part B, graph the associated health care
expenditure function.
d. Assume that the fixed amount of health care spending decreases to $250. Graph the new and original health
care functions on…
