- You manage two chocolate factories. Using only these two factories, you must produce exactly 420 kgs of chocolate daily at lowest possible cost. Mathematically, you have: Q1 = Quantity produced at Chocolate Factory #1 Q2 = Quantity produced at Chocolate Factory #2 Daily total overall production: Q1 – Q2 = 420 At present, each factory produces half the overall requirement. This means that Q1 = 210, Q2 = 210 a) Following your logic , you realize that as long as the marginal cost is different between the two factories, you can lower overall cost while maintaining production at 420 kgs. So, to reduce the overall cost to the lowest possible, you decide to move more than 1 kilogram from one factory to another. As a result, each factory will produce a different quantity of chocolate while the overall daily production remains at 420 kgs. To minimize overall cost, how many kilograms will you order/instruct Factory #1 to produce? Q1 = ____________kgs And how many kilograms would you…arrow_forwardAnalyze the situation below and give your responses: The situation: If you live in a place that presently not requiring car drivers not wearing a seatbelt.

- A) Show and discuss the economics of land reform policy to redistribute agricultural lands across two equal groups of farmers. Assume the two groups have the same human capital in terms of farming (same Marginal Product curves) and that the amount of agricultural available land is fixed and constraining. B) Find the agricultural output maximizing allocation of land between the two groups. C) Show graphically that any other allocation of land will result in lower total output. D) Discuss the output per person in each group under both scenarios and why a sub-optimal distribution of land might persist. I need argunt .

Her family is an agricultural household that produces beans for household consumption and if their production is more than what they consume, they sell the remaining in the local market of Gicumbi, If they produce less than they must consume, her household purchases beans from the local market. In this problem, we will answer how the welfare of Chantal's household gets affected when price of beans changes. (b) What happens to the well-being (utility) of Chantal's household, i.e., the total effect of a price change in beans is ambiguous. Explain in a few sentences using the concepts of price effect and profit effect. To complete the description of Chantal's household consumption, let us assume they consume two more items cassava and maize, which they do not produce. The following table provides the details of their production and consumption. Fill out the…arrow_forward
