A firm has found from past experience that its profit in terms of number of units x produced, is given by TP=+729x + 2700. .3 3 a) Find the value that maximizes the profit. b) Find the maximum profit. c) show that your answer in part (a) has been maximized, (Upload the picture of your solutions)
An industrial firm makes two products, A and B. These products require water resources where they are very scarce. The products they make are unique, and hence they can set the unit price of each product at any value they want to. However, experience tells them that the higher the unit price for a product, the less amount of that product they will sell. The relationship between the unit price and quantity that can be sold is given by the following two demand functions: Assume for simplicity that the unit price for product A is (16 - A) and for product B is (18-2.5B). Suppose the total amount of A and B could not exceed the total amount of Tmax. Where Tmax = 10. Please use "Lagrange Multiplier" method to determine what are the amounts of A and B, and their unit prices, that maximize total revenue (Set the marginal increments at 1).
You are the manager of Zokia Ghana Limited, a producer of beans. In Ghana, it is possible to produce beans or groundnut using the same resources. Therefore, producers are able to sw itch from beans to groundnut production depending on market conditions. Consequently, Zokia consulted an Economist who estimated the demand function for beans as: Qbd = 600 – 4Pb – 0.03M – 12Pg + 15T + 6Pe + 1.5N where Qbd is the quantity demanded of beans each month, ?? is the average price of beans (in Ghana Cedis), M is the average household income (in GH¢), ?? is the price of groundnut (in GH¢), T is a consumer taste index ranging in value from 0 to 10 (the highest rating), ?? is the price (in GH¢) consumers expect to pay next month for beans, and N is the number of buyers in the market for beans. Assume the following initial values: ??=5, ??= 40, T= 6.5, Pe= 5.25, N= 2000, Qbd = 2479 As a result of the effect of COVID-19 on the economy, the government has proposed an income cut policy.

3) Suppose that consumers of a good can be represented by the demand function Q (P) = 51 - P + A /?, Where P is the price of the good and A is the level of advertising. Each unit of advertising costs 1 and the cost function is c (Q) = Q² + 2Q + 10. (a) Determine the optimal production level and the optimal level of advertising. (b) Consider the outcome in part (a) and verify the Dorfman - Steiner condition.
(a) Derive the first order condition showing how much labor and capital a producer should use to minimize the total costs of producing a given level of output. (b) What is the second order condition for the producer to achieve (a). (c) Draw a figure showing your answer to part (a) and another figure showing the opposite (i.e., a producer maximizing output with given total costs). How does either situation compare with a producer who has neither a total output constraint or a total cost constraint?
1. A) An automobile company sells 2 tires for every one frame. Now the demand function for tire is 3 t=189 - P and demand function for frame f-180 – Pf and firm's cost function is C=3t2 + 3f2 + 3tf + 570 now use the Lagrange Multiplier Method of constrained optimization to optimize the profit. b) Now use the Bordered Hessian method to show that all the optimal values that you find 4 in (a) maximize the profit. c) Define the significance of Lagrange Multiplier in optimization using this context. What is the other name of Lagrange Multiplier? Please briefly discuss how it will affect a firm's decision in this context? (Hint: is there any constant in your constraint?)

The Talbot Company uses electrical assemblies to produce an array of small appliances. One of its high cost / high volume assemblies, the XO-01, has an estimated annual demand of 8,000 units. Talbot estimates the cost to place an order is $50, and the holding cost for each assembly is $20 per year. The company operates 250 days per year.
Q2 The market equilibrium price and quantity of a good may be found by solving the simultaneous equations: Q + 3P = 48 (1) Q – 2P = 30 (2) (a) Explain which of these equations represents the supply curve and which represents the demand curve. (b) If the demand curve were to be drawn with Q on the horizontal axis and P on the vertical axis, state the values of the slope and vertical intercept. (c) Determine the equilibrium price and quantity algebraically.
