10. Consider the labour/leisure choice problem where the utility function is: U(c,l) = c²l where c is consumption of goods and services, and l is leisure time. The constraint is: w(T – 1) + N = c, where w is the real wage, T is time available for work and leisure and N is income derived from non-labour sources (rents, profits etc). This is all spent on consumption c. (a) Form the Lagrangean, find optimal consumption (c*) and leisure (1*) in terms of w, and N. Do not check the second order conditions. (b) Labour time advanced (L*) is T– l*. Define this in terms of w,T and N. (c) Show that optimal L* change positively as the real wage (w) increases.

Hamza is a young and energetic production manager of a software production firm. With his hard work, he maximized the monthly profit to Rs 750000 while carefully keeping the price of software as Rs 2250. He utilized the resources in such a dynamic way that firm achieved total product of 225 softwares per month. What total cost was incurred on this production?
