Based on Zangwill (1992). Murray Manufacturing runs a day shift and a night shift. Regardless of the number of units produced, the only production cost during a shift is a setup cost. It costs $8000 to run the day shift and $4500 to run the night shift. Demand for the next two days is as follows: day 1, 2000; night 1, 3000; day 2, 2000; night 2, 3000. It costs $1 per unit to hold a unit in inventory for a shift. a. Determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of setup and inventory costs. All demand must be met on time. (Note: Not all shifts have to be run.) b. After listening to a seminar on the virtues of the Japanese theory of production, Murray has cut the setup cost of its day shift to $1000 per shift and the setup cost of its night shift to $3500 per shift. Now determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of setup and inventory costs. All demand must be met on time. Show that the decrease in setup costs has actually raised the average inventory level. Is this…
Showing your analytical work clearly in a step by step manner is a must. Otherwise points will be deducted. You can use Excel or any other graphing tool. A startup software company has indicated its cost, c(x), and revenue, f(x), as given below, such that x is the number of lines of programing code (units in 1000 lines). c(x) = 80000 - 2(x-200)2 f(x) = (x-10)3 + (x+10)2 Find the marginal cost analytically, and draw its graph Find the marginal revenue analytically, and draw its graph Solve for the x point where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue analytically. Comment why is this point significant analytically. Write the profit function and draw its graph Is the profit function concave up or concave down? Answer all questions neatly please

If the marginal product of labor is 60 units of output per hour and the marginal product of capital is 45 units of output per hour, is the firm using the cost-minimizing combination of labor and capital? If not, should the firm increase or decrease the amount of capital used in its production process?
