The Big Bang Theory Assume the hours needed to cook a meal or done a basket of laundry are different, and they are described below: 1 MEAL 1 BASKET SHELDON 2 1 LEONARD 1/2 2 1. What is the maximum number of meals Sheldon can produce in 12 hours? What is the maximum number of laundry baskets Sheldon can complete in 12 hours? 2. Plot in a graph: Sheldon’s production possibility frontier. 3: Plot in a graph: Leonard’s production possibility frontier. 4. What is Sheldon’s opportunity cost of one meal (in terms of baskets given up)? What is his opportunity cost of one basket (in terms of meals given up)? 5. Does Leonard have an absolute advantage in producing both meals and baskets? 6. Who has a comparative advantage in cooking? 7. Suppose each person has 12 hours for the two tasks in a week, and suppose both Sheldon and Leonard each spend 6 hours on cooking and 6 hours on laundry. Consider an offer from Leonard to Sheldon: do 3 baskets of laundry for me each week, and I’ll cook you 2…
What combination of x and y will yield the optimum for this problem? Maximize $10x + $4y, subject to (1) 5x + 3y ≤ 15 and (2) 3x + 6y ≤ 18 and (3) x, y ≥ 0.
a) What is the optimal solution to this problem? Solve it graphically. b) If a technical breakthrough occurred that raised the profit per unit of X1 to $3, would this affect the optimal solution? c) Instead of an increase in the profit coefficient X1 to $3, suppose that profit was overestimated and should only have been $1.25. Does this change the optimal solution?
Communication Equipment Two sectors of the U.S. economy are (1) audio, video, and communication equipment and (2) electronic components and accessories. Suppose in 1998, the input-output table involving these two sectors was as follows (all figures are in millions of dollars). To Equipment Components From Equipment 6,200 400 Components 25,000 32,000 Total Output 90,000 140,000 Determine the production levels (in dollars) necessary in these two sectors to meet an external demand for $81,000 million of communication equipment and $89,000 million of electronic components. Round answers to two significant digits.
