Question: Suppose a manufacturer's production function is given by: 16q = 65 – 4(1- 4)² – 2(k – 5)² And the cost to the manufacturer is $8 per unit of labor and $16 per unit of capital, so that the total cost (in dollars) is 81 + 16k. The selling price of the product is $64. i. Express the profit as a function of I and k. Give your answer in expanded form. ii. Find all critical points of the function obtained in part (i). Apply the second-order derivative test at each critical point. If the profit is a relative maximum at a critical point, compute the corresponding relative maximum profit. ii. The profit may be considered as a function of I, k, and q, subject to the constraint:
