Josel owns an energy company. He produces electricity from solar energy and wind energy.
The technology is as follows
Field
Green Field (10 acres)
Red Field (12 acres)
Solar Energy
2 acres needed for each unit
3 acres needed for each unit
Wind Energy
2 acres needed for each unit
1 acre needed for each unit
Outside merchants buy and sell solar energy and wind energy at prices Ps = $2 and Pw =
$4, respectively. The value-maximizing point of production is
O A. Qs = 9 and Qw = 0.
O B. Qs = 0 and Qw = 17.
C. Qs = 5 and Qw = 12.
O D. Qs = 4 and Qw = 5.
O E. None of the above.
