- For a certain company, the cost function for producing x items is C(x)=30x+200 and the revenue function for selling x items is R(x)=−0.5(x−110)2+6,050. The maximum capacity of the company is 170 items. The profit function P(x) is the revenue function R(x) (how much it takes in) minus the cost function C(x) (how much it spends). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least make a profit! 1. Assuming that the company sells all that it produces, what is the profit function? P(x)= ? 2. What is the domain of P(x)? 3. The company can choose to produce either 80 or 90 items. What is their profit for each case, and which level of production should they choose? Profit when producing 80 items=? Profit when producing 90 items=?A firm has production function F(K, L) = 1/4 (K1/2 + L1/2) . The wage rate is w = 1 and the rental rate of capital is r = 3. (a) How much capital and labor should the firm employ to produce y units of output? (b) Hence find the cost of producing y units of output (the firm’s cost function). (c) Differentiate the cost function to find the marginal cost, and verify that it is equal to the value of the Lagrange multiplierFor a certain company, the cost function for producing x items is C(x)=30x+250 and the revenue function for selling x items is R(x)=−0.5(x−100)2+5,000. The maximum capacity of the company is 140 items. The profit function P(x) is the revenue function R(x) (how much it takes in) minus the cost function C(x) (how much it spends). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least make a profit! Answers to some of the questions are given below so that you can check your work. Assuming that the company sells all that it produces, what is the profit function? P(x)= . Hint: Profit = Revenue - Cost as we examined in Discussion 3. What is the domain of P(x)?

- For a certain company, the cost function for producing x items is C(x)=40x+150 and the revenue function for selling x items is R(x)=−0.5(x−90)^2+4,050. The maximum capacity of the company is 130 items. The profit function P(x) is the revenue function R(x) (how much it takes in) minus the cost function C(x) (how much it spends).

P(x)= 2. What is the domain of P(x)? 3. The company can choose to produce either 50 or 60 items. What is their profit for each case, and which level of production should they choose? 4. Can you explain, from our model, why the company makes less profit when producing 10 more units?Suppose that the production function is Q=2K+5L for a firm. If price per unit of labor is 5 Turkish Liras (), price per unit of capital is 10 Turkish Liras () and the financial capasity of firm for production is 600 Turkish Liras (), find the maximum amount of output (production). (Hint: please be careful about the production function as it is linear which means that the inputs (capital and labor) are perfect substitutes, so here you have to remember the equilibrium conditions for perfect substitutes.)1. Inputs K, L, R and M cost £10, £6, £15 and £3 respectively per unit. What is the cheapest way of producing an output of 900 units if a firm operates with the production function Q = 20K0.4L0.3R0.2M0.25? 2. Make up your own constrained optimization problem for an objective function with three variables and solve it. 3. A firm faces the production function Q = 50K0.5L0.2R0.25 and is required to produce an output level of 1,913 units. What is the cheapest way of doing this if the per-unit costs of inputs K, L and R are £80, £24 and £45 respectively?
- Making dresses is a labor-intensive process. Indeed, the production function of a dressmaking firm is well described by the equation Q = L − L2∕800, where Q denotes the number of dresses per week and L is the number of labor hours per week. The firm’s additional cost of hiring an extra hour of labor is about $20 per hour (wage plus fringe benefits). The firm faces the fixed selling price, P = $40. Over the next two years, labor costs are expected to be unchanged, but dress prices are expected to increase to $50. What effect will this have on the firm’s optimal output? A- Increase B- Decrease C- No EffectYou are the manager of Taurus Technologies, and your sole competitor is Spyder Technologies. The two firms’ products are viewed as identical by consumers. The relevant total cost functions are C(Qi)=2(Qi)for each firm, and the inverse market demand curve for this unique product is given by P = 50 – Q, with Q the total quantity. Currently, you and your rival simultaneously (but independently) make production decisions. b. Suppose by making an unrecoverable fixed investment of $40, Taurus Technologies can bring its product to market before Spyder finalizes its production plans. If so, what is your quantity and profit? Should you make the investment of $40? a. What is the current optimal quantity and profit of Taurus Technologies?As the manager of Smith Construction, you need to make a decision on the number of homes to build in a new residential area where you are the only builder. Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 60 percent chance of low demand and a 40 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P = 400,000 −400Q and P = 900,000 −250Q, respectively. Your cost function is C(Q) = 125,000 + 430,000Q. How many new homes should you build, and what profits can you expect? Number of homes you should build: homes Profits you can expect: $
