A firm manufactures a commodity at two different factories, Factory X and Factory Y. The total cost (in
dollars) of manufacturing depends on the quantities, and y produced at each factory, respectively, and is
expressed by the joint cost function:
C(x, y) = x² + xy +4y²+400
A) If the company's objective is to produce 1,900 units per month while minimizing the total monthly cost
of production, how many units should be produced at each factory? (Round your answer to whole units, i.e.
no decimal places.)
To minimize costs, the company should produce:
units at Factory X and
units at Factory Y
B) For this combination of units, their minimal costs will be

Suppose a Cobb-Douglas Production function is given by the following:
P(L,K)=80L0.75 K-0.25
where L is units of labor, K is units of capital, and P(L, K) is total units that can be produced with this
labor/capital combination. Suppose each unit of labor costs $400 and each unit of capital costs $1,600.
Further suppose a total of $384,000 is available to be invested in labor and capital (combined).
A) How many units of labor and capital should be "purchased" to maximize production subject to your
budgetary constraint?
Units of labor, L =
Units of capital, K =
B) What is the maximum number of units of production under the given budgetary conditions? (Round your
answer to the nearest whole unit.)
Max production =
