Bounds Inc. determined through regression analysis that its sales (S) are a function of the amount of advertising (measured in units) in two different media. This relationship is given by the following equation (X = newspapers, Y = magazines): S (X, Y) = 200X+100Y− 10X2− 20Y2 + 20XY Find the level of newspaper and magazine advertising that maximizes the firm’s sales. Calculate the firm’s sales at the optimal values of newspaper and magazine advertising determined in part (a).
The demand function for a product is given by P = 4000/ln (x+10), where P is the price per unit in dollars when x units are demanded.i. Find the rate of change of price with respect to the number of units sold when 40 units are sold ii. Find the rate of change of price with respect to the number of units sold when 90 units are sold.iii.

The output (Q) of a production process is a function of two inputs (L and K) and K is given by the following relationship: Q = 0.50LK− 0.10L2− 0.05K2 The per-unit prices of inputs L and K are $20 and $25, respectively. The firm is interested in maximizing output subject to a cost constraint of $500. Use the lagrangian optimization techniques to find the following: How many units of L and K should be used by the firm? What is the total output of this combination? What is the marginal rate of substitution between L and K?
You have been hired as a marketing consultant to Johannesburg Burger Supply, Inc., and you wish to come up with a unit price for its hamburgers in order to maximize its weekly revenue. To make life as simple as possible, you assume that the demand equation for Johannesburg hamburgers is linear. (a) Your market studies reveal the following sales figures: When the price is set at $2.00 per hamburger, the sales amount to 6000 per week, but when the price is set at $4.00 per hamburger, the sales drop to zero. Use these data to find the linear demand function q(p), where p is the price per hamburger and q is the number of hamburgers they sell at that price per week. q(p) = (b) Find the price elasticity of demand. E(p) = (c) When you raise the price by 1% from $2 per hamburger, the demand decreases Demand is of unit elasticity. v by X %.
potter makes and sells ceramic bowls. It is observed that when the price is $32, only 9 bowls are sold in a week; but when the price decreases to $10, weekly sales rise to 20. Assuming that demand can be modelled by a linear function, (a) obtain a formula for Pin terms of Q (b) Calculate for the slope of the curve if the relationship between p and Q is linear.

A company uses two inputs, unskilled labour (L) and capital (K), to produce its product. The wage rate for a unit of labour is €5, while a unit of capital cost €20. a) Determine the equation and plot the isocost line for the company's expenditures on itsinputs of €1,000. Label the intercepts of the isocost with both axes. Draw a typical isoquant for an output level Q0 and indicate the optimal input levels of L and K. (Do not forget to label the axes). b) Suppose the government introduces a minimum wage for unskilled labour of €6 per unit.Show graphically and explain shortly how much it would cost the firm in the short run, with capital input fixed at K, to keep its output constant at Q0. c) Show graphically and comment shortly on the optimal factor mix that the firm would use to produce Q0 in the long run at the specified minimum wage of €6 per unit.
A large company in the communication and publishing industry hs quantified the relationship between the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price = 160 -0.01 xDemand for an annual printing of this particular product. The foxed costs per year (ie. per printing) = $4T 000 and the variable cost per unit = $35. What is the maximum profit that can be achieved? What is the unit price at this point of optimal demand? Demand is not expected to be more than 7,000 units per year. The maximum profit that can be achieved is S. (Round to the nearest dolar.) The unit price at the point of optimal demand is S per unit (Round to the nearest cent)
A community bird-watching society makes and sells simple bird feeders to raise money for its conservation activities. The materials for each feeder cost $5, and the society sells an average of 24 per week at a price of $9 each. The society has been considering raising the price, so it conducts a survey and finds that for every dollar increase, it loses 3 sales per week. (a) Find a function that models weekly profit in terms of price per feeder. (Let x represent the price per feeder and P represent the profit.) P(x) = (b) What price should the society charge for each feeder to maximize profits? $ What is the maximum weekly profit? $
