Diamond & Turf Inc. is considering an investment in one of two machines. The sewing machine will increase productivity from sewing 150 baseballs per hour to sewing 290 per hour. The contribution margin per unit is $0.32 per baseball. Assume that any increased production of baseballs can be sold. The second machine is an automatic packing machine for the golf ball line. The packing machine will reduce packing labor cost. The labor cost saved is equivalent to $21 per hour. The sewing machine will cost $260,000, have an 8-year life, and will operate for 1,800 hours per year. The packing machine will cost $85,000, have an 8-year life, and operate for 1,400 hours per year. Diamond & Turf seeks a minimum rate of return of 15% on its investments.

In the days when the epidemic started, the price of the mask, which is normally $ 0.25 , has climbed up to $ 8 in the market. In this period, on average, a mask found buyers in the market for $ 4.Mask supply and demand functions:Qd = a - bPQs = -c + dPQd = QsLet's assume that it is. Here you can choose the numerical values of the a, b, c, d parameters to solve the problem. When making solutions, use them parametrically. a)Using the above information, plot the supply and demand functions for the mask market. Show consumer and producer surplus values on the chart. b)If the mask price is $ 6, write the consumer and producer residual value using the integral. (calculation is not required.) c)The Ministry of Health has announced the mask price as $ 1. According to this explanation, write the residual value of the producer and consumer using Integral.
