An engineering firm recently conducted a study to determine its benefit and cost structure (total cost).
The results of the study are as follows:
The total benefit from producing q units is TB(q):
15,000q-15q2 so that its marginal benefit is
%3D
MB(q):
= 15,000-30q and the total cost of producing q units is TC (q) = 687,500 + 10q2 so that its
marginal cost is MC (q) = 20q
1. Find the level of output q' that yields the maximum profit.
2. Find the maximum profit Tt" achieved by the firm at the output level q".
An engineering student has only 45 minutes before the final exam in her Engineering Economy class. She needs help in understanding cost-effectiveness analysis because she knows from the instructor’s review session that a CEA problem will be on the exam. There is time for using only one method of assistance before the exam; she must select well. In a rapid process of estimation, she determines how many minutes it would take for each method of assistance and how many points it might gain for her on the final. The method and estimates follow. Where should she seek help to be most effective? Assistance from Minutes for Assistance Points Gained Teaching assistant (TA) 15 20 Slides on web 20 10 Friend in class 10 5 Instructor 20 15

- Due to limited funding and the scope of the work, the restoration of Kaho'olawe is heavily dependant on the work of volunteers. Although the number of individuals who volunteer is plentiful, only a small number can travel to Kaho'olawe every year. A critical preparation is that they must go through training with the Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC) before they travel. Usually there are about two trips to the island every month, with each trip typically spanning a few days. 1.
