Suppose that the XYZ Corp. (which is a profit-maximizing enterprise) produces “gadgets” according to the following production function: Q = 300K + 100KL + 2000L - L^2 , where Q is the number of gadgets per year, K is the amount of capital (machines) that are used, and L is the number of workers employed per year. Gadgets sell for $100 each. a) If XYZ has 10 machines, and workers cost $100,000/year (including benefits and direct ancillary expenses), how many workers should XYZ hire? b) If the workers cost $120,000, how many workers should XYZ hire? c) If workers cost $100,000 but gadgets sell for $80 each, how many workers should XYZ hire? d) If XYZ instead has 20 machines, how many workers should it hire when workers cost $100,000 and gadgets sell for $100?

Student tuition at ABC University is $500 per semester credit-hour. The state supplements school revenue by matching student tuition dollar for dollar. In other words, for each dollar a student pays in tuition, the state pays a dollar that is also considered revenue. Average class size for a typical three credit-hour course is 25 students. Labor costs are $3,000 per class, materials costs the school $25 per student per class and overhead costs are $15,000 per class. For this problem, ABC University measures output as the total amount of revenue generated. a) What is the multifactor productivity performance for a course at ABC University? b) If instructors work an average of 10 hours per week for 16 weeks for each three-credit hour class of 25 students, what is the labor-hours productivity ratio? c) Suppose next year, the tuition increases to $550 per semester credit hour but the state only pays $100 per semester hour instead of the matching it had previously paid. The instructors…

Jaynet spends $30,000 per year on painting supplies and storage space. She recently received two job offers from a famous marketing firm—one offer was for $110,000 per year and the other was for $80,000. However, she turned both jobs down to continue a painting career. If Jaynet sells 25 paintings per year at a price of $8,000 each What are her accounting profits? What are her economic profits? Suppose the total benefit derived from a continuous decision, Q, is B(Q) = 20Q − 2Q2and the corresponding total cost is C(Q) = 4 + 2Q2, so that MB(Q) = 20 − 4Q and MC(Q) = 4Q. What is total benefit when Q = 2? Q = 10? What is marginal benefit when Q = 2? Q = 10? What level of Q maximizes total benefit? What is total cost when Q = 2? Q = 10? What is marginal cost when Q = 2? Q = 10? What level of Q minimizes total cost?"

Assume Allergan, Inc. is facing a capacity constraint in manufacturing Botox®. Analytically, this implies its marginal cost curve is extremely steep. As Botox® is oftentimes used for cosmetic reasons, it is reasonable to assume consumers have quite elastic demand curves. Hypothetically, assume a forthcoming study will highlight the safety of Botox® for cosmetic procedures. Given this potential study, where should Allergan, Inc. focus its strategic resources? a. Operations, specifically finding ways to lower costs in an effort to justify a price increase. b. Staffing, specifically preparing to significantly increase its staff to prepare for a large increase in the number of units of Botox® sold. c. Marketing/Pricing, specifically preparing to significantly raise the price for Botox®.
A furniture firm has the capability to producer chairs and tables. Management wants to evaluate whether producing both products or only one is better.
