Ruff makes dog food out of chicken and grain. Chicken has 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat per ounce, and grain has 2 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat per ounce. A bag of dog food must contain at least 208 grams of protein and at least 142 grams of fat. If chicken costs 10c per ounce and grain costs 1¢ per ounce, how many ounces of each should Ruff use in each bag of dog food to minimize costs? (chicken, grain) =

Stan Moneymaker needs 15 gallons of gasoline to top off his automobile’s gas tank. If he drives an extra eight miles (round trip) to a gas station on the outskirts of town, Stan can save $0.10 per gallon on the price of gasoline. Suppose gasoline costs $3.90 per gallon and Stan’s car gets 25 mpg for in-town driving. Should Stan make the trip to get less expensive gasoline? Each mile that Stan drives creates one pound of carbon dioxide. Each pound of CO2 has a cost impact of $0.02 on the environment. What other factors (cost and otherwise) should Stan consider in his decision making?

Anderson is facing the hardest decision in his life: Should he buy the newest Xbox Series X (cost $500), the newest Apple Airpod Max (cost $550), or the newest Apple Mac Pro Wheels Kit (cost $700). Right now, Anderson has exactly $700. Provided that Anderson already has EVERYTHING he needs and the $700 cannot be used on anything else to make him happier (in other words, the $700 should only be spent on these 3 items. Moreover, for example, if Anderson chooses to buy the Xbox for $500, the remaining $200 is not usable and has no value to Anderson). 1/ If Anderson chooses to buy the Airpod Max, what is the opportunity cost associated with that option? 2/ How would your answer in 1/ change if Anderson just won the $1 million lotteries today? 3/ How would your answer in 1/ change if Anderson just lost one of his $100 bill today, making him now only has $600 left?

Spark Studio produces commercials for other companis. A 2-minute commercial, for example, needs exactly 5 minutes of filming and 8 minutes of editing. Let x1 denote the minutes of filming and x2 denote the minutes of editing. a) Suppose that filming costs $45 per minute and editing costs $10 per minute. To produce a 5-miunte commercial, how many minutes of filming and how many minutes of editing Does Spark studio need to minimize cost? How much is this cost? Draw a graph of the isoquant and isocost line to show this optimal bundle. b) Rocket Media, another commercial production company, uses a different technology. The length of commercials it produces is equal to the longer of the two: one-third of the length of filming and one-fourth of the length of editing. When w1 = 15 and w2 = 10, derive Rocket Media's cost function c(y).
Fig 2.1 illustrates the law of diminishing returns in seeking the optimum system (or component) performance and hence the need to balance the performance against the cost. Give examples of two pairs of characteristics other than performance versus cost where optimizing one frequently competes with the other, and briefly explain why they do.
(I am trying to find the simplest way to solve the question if Im using a cas calculator) (Formulas and notes I can put on my calculator are helpful) An apple grower finds that if he plants 80 trees per acre, each tree will yield 26 bushels of fruit. He estimates that for each additional tree planted per acre, the yield of each tree will decrease by 4 bushels. Given a price of $1.00 per bushel, find the maximum revenue and how many trees should he plant per acre to maximize her harvest? 36 trees per acre, maximum revenue of $7,480 37 trees per acre, maximum revenue of $7,482 43 trees per acre, maximum revenue of $7,482 44 trees per acre, maximum revenue of $7,480
