- A firm produces two different kinds, A and B, of a commodity. The daily cost of producingx units of A and y units of B isC(x, y) = 2x2 − 4xy + 4y2 − 40x − 20y + 514Suppose that the firm sells all its output at a price per unit of $24 for A and $12 for B. Findthe daily production levels x and y that maximize profit. (Be sure to show your first andsecond order conditions.)1. The total cost of producing a quantity q is C(q). The average cost a(q) is given in figure below. The following rule is used by economists to determine the marginal cost C'(q0), for any qo: Construct the tangent line ti to a(q) at qo. Let t, be the line with the same vertical intercept as t, but with twice the slope of t, . Then C'(q0), is the vertical distance shown in figure below. Explain why this rule works. $/unit a(q) t2 t1 C'(qo)A local company is planning to manufacture and market a four-slice toaster. For this toaster, the research department’s estimates are aweekly demand of 300 toasters at a price of $25 per toaster and a weekly demand of 400 toasters at a price of $20. The financial department’s estimates are fixed weekly costs of$5,000 and variable costs of $5 per toaster. a) Assume that the relationship between price ? and demand ? is linear. Use the research department’s estimates to express ? as a function of ? and determine the domain of the function. b) Using your knowledge from Finite Math, determine the Revenue function in terms of ?. c) Determine the Marginal Revenue at 2 different production levels for example 250 and 500 units. Interpret these results. (HINT: Consider what a positive or negative first derivative implies) d) Assume that the cost function is linear.

(c) If lemons cost $4 per pound, the wage rate is $9 per hour, and theprice of lemonade is p, explain in detail how these changes would affect theoriginal supply function in part (b)? ONLY ANSWER PART B AND C.The price of oil is currently over $80 per barrel and has been as high as $90 per barrel after Saudi Arabia and a couple of oter OPEC countries reduced output this year. The demand for oil is expected to increase by 1 million barely per day over the next year according to the International Energy Agency but OPEC+ has been unclear about its intentions of increasing oil supplies. a. If OPEC+ increases its production by million barrels per day, we can unambiguously say that the equilibrium price will fall, and the equilibrium quantity will rise.What is the maximum weekly profit? What is the wholesale price per sleeping bag that should be charged to realize the maximum weekly profit?
