The owner of a machine shop is planning to expand by
purchasing some new machines-presses and lathes. The
owner has estimated that each press purchased will increase
profit by P5000 per day and each lathe will increase profit by
P7500 daily. The number of machines the owner can
purchase is limited by the cost of the machines and the
available floor space in the shop. The machine purchase
prices and space requirements are as follows:
Required Floor
Space (m2).
Purchase Price
Press
1.4
P400,000
Lathe
2.8
200,000
The owner has a budget of P2,200,000 for purchasing
machines and 22 square meters of available floor
space.
Suppose years of schooling, s, is the only variable that affects earnings. The equations for the weekly salaries of male and female workers are given bywm = 500 + 100sandwf = 300 + 75sOn average, men have 14 years of schooling and women have 12 years of schooling.a. What is the male-female wage differential in the labor market?b. Using the Oaxaca decomposition, calculate how much of this wage differential is due to discrimination?c. Can you think of an alternative Oaxaca decomposition that would lead to a different measure of discrimination? Which measure is better?
4. Which statements are true of optimization?
Select one or more:
a.
It is a general mathematical tool and can be used not only in portfolio optimization but many business problems
b.
When applied in real world setting we often use computers to estimate the optimum numerically rather than doing calculus by hand
c.
One of the earliest applications of optimization to business problems is Augustin Cournot's 1838 duopoly pricing model
d.
Optimization can only ever be as effective as the description of the objective function
e.
The selection of the FOC at zero is an arbitrary choice but allows for the identification of inflection (turning points) in the objective function
f.
When optimizing by hand you differentiate the objective function with respect to the control variables of the economic entity at hand
