- Suppose that Zamboni Enterprises is the only company that sells zambonis (ice resurfacing machines). To produce the machines, the company hires assembly workers. Since these workers can work in many different companies, Zamboni Enterprises must pay them the market wage, which is equal to $6. The number of zambonis that the company produces, which is denoted by y, is proportional to the number of assembly workers that it hires, which are denoted by N; in particular, the production function is given by y=0.76N. The economywide demand for zambonis is given by the following demand function: y=2191-219p, where y is the number of zambonis that consumers are willing to purchase at price p.
