7. The production function of a certain good Q that is produced with inputs q1,q2 and q3 (quantities) is: Q(q1, q2, q3) = 150 - (q1 - 3)2 - (q2 - 8)2 - (q3 - 5)2. We wish to determine the combination of inputs that maximizes the production of good Q a) Find the critical point (q∗1, q∗2, q∗3) of Q, from the first order conditions. b) Show, through the Hessian matrix criterion, that the obtained critical point corresponds to a maximum of Q. c) Calculate Q∗. Please explain step by step and be specific.

Redo Exercise 5, assuming that the house blend contains 300 grams of Colombian beans, 50 grams of Kenyan beans, and 150 grams of French roast beans and the gourmet blend contains 100 grams of Colombian beans, 350 grams of Kenyan beans, and 50 grams of French roast beans. This time the merchant has on hand 30 kilograms of Colombian beans, 15 kilograms of Kenyan beans, and 15 kilograms of French roast beans. Suppose one bag of the house blend produces a profit of $0.50, one bag of the special blend produces a profit of $1.50, and one bag of the gourmet blend produces a profit of $2.00. How many bags of each type should the merchant prepare if he wants to use up all of the beans and maximize his profit? What is the maximum profit?
23. Consider a simple economy with just two industries: farming and manufacturing. Farming consumes 1/2 of the food and 1/3 of the manufactured goods. Manufacturing consumes 1/2 of the food and 2/3 of the manufactured goods. Assuming the economy is closed and in equilibrium, find the relative outputs of the farming and manufacturing industries.
