2. Inputs and outputsMalika's Pizzas is a takeout-only pizza parfor servicing the college campus of Santa Barbara that specializes in vegan pizzas. Malika's small shop hasbarely enough room for customers to stand and wait, let alone the five pizza ovens necessary to keep up with the hungry student customers. Malikasigned a lease renting both the five ovens and the storefront for the next year. Due to the terms of the lease and the building's size constraint, Malikais unable to change the store's number of pizza ovens in the short run.However, Malika does face a decision regarding the number of employees to schedule on a weekly basis. Every Sunday, Malika contacts the staff tocommunicate the amount of workers needed on each day of the upcoming week. In the short run, the store employees areinputs, andpizza ovens areinputs.The following table presents Malika's daily production schedule.Fill in the blanks to complete the Marginal Product of Labor column for each worker.Output Marginal Product of Labor(Pizzas)Labor(Number of workers) (Pizzas)012345070120160190200 onde ngaphat aspection funcionang the grem porwa: MotXXVESIQUANTITY OF OUTPUTLABOR100Truethen coaded Le spents creed depaO FalseProdmoinsrobe cest labox /eure that epe orange points faquare rybol) to platfRIEBER***QUANTITY OF OUTPMORall works the day of 50True or False: The shape of the production function reflects the law of increasing marginal returns.etist from the precading

A firm produces two different kinds, A and B, of a commodity. The daily cost of producingx units of A and y units of B isC(x, y) = 2x2 − 4xy + 4y2 − 40x − 20y + 514Suppose that the firm sells all its output at a price per unit of $24 for A and $12 for B. Findthe daily production levels x and y that maximize profit. (Be sure to show your first andsecond order conditions.)

2. Inputs and outputs Dmitri's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Philadelphia that sells gluten-free pizzas. Dmitri's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the four ovens in which his workers bake the pizzas. Dmitri signed a lease obligating him to pay the rent for the four ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Dmitri's kitchen cannot fit more than four ovens, Dmitri cannot change the number of ovens he uses in his production of pizzas in the short run.
The Calhoun Textile Mill is in the process of deciding on a production schedule. It wishesto know how to weave the various fabrics it will produce during the coming quarter. Thesales department has confirmed orders for each of the 15 fabrics produced by Calhoun.These demands are given in the following table. Also given in this table is the variablecost for each fabric. The mill operates continuously during the quarter: 13 weeks, 7 daysa week, and 24 hours a day.There are two types of looms: dobbie and regular. Dobbie looms can be used to makeall fabrics and are the only looms that can weave certain fabrics, such as plaids. The rateof production for each fabric on each type of loom is also given in the table. Note that ifthe production rate is zero, the fabric cannot be woven on that type of loom. Also, if afabric can be woven on each type of loom, then the production rates are equal. Calhounhas 90 regular looms and 15 dobbie looms. For this problem, assume the time requirementto change…
5. Costs in the short run versus in the long run Ike’s Bikes is a major manufacturer of bicycles. Currently, the company produces bikes using only one factory. However, it is considering expanding production to two or even three factories. The following table shows the company’s short-run average total cost (SRATC) each month for various levels of production if it uses one, two, or three factories. (Note: Q equals the total quantity of bikes produced by all factories.) IMG 1 Suppose Ike’s Bikes is currently producing 600 bikes per month in its only factory. Its short-run average total cost is _________ per bike. Suppose Ike’s Bikes is expecting to produce 600 bikes per month for several years. In this case, in the long run, it would choose to produce bikes using ___________. (One, two, or three factories) On the following graph, plot the three SRATC curves for Ike’s Bikes from the previous table. Specifically, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot its…
