1. A large wood products company is negotiating a contract to sell plywood overseas. The fixed cost that can be allocated to the production of plywood is $600,000 per month. The variable cost per thousand board feet is $125.50. The price charged will be determined byp = $550 – (0.4)D per 1.00 board feet. a. For this situation, determine the optimal monthly sales volume for this product and calculate the profit (or loss) at the optimal volume. b. What is the domain of profitable demand during a month?
ect of the utility commission's ruling on the profitability of the firm? 15 A company estimates that the demand for its product fluctuates with the price it charges. The demand function is q = 280,000 – 400p where q equals the number of units demanded and p equals the price in dollars. The total cost of producing q units of the product is estimated by the function C = 350,000 + 300q + 0.0015q? (a) Determine how many units q should be produçed in order to maximize annual profit. (b) What price should be charged? (c) What is the annual profit expected to equal? 16 Solve the previous exercise, using the
Electrical Components Profit A company’s dailyprofit from the production and sale of electrical components can be described by the equation P(x) =6.45x - 2000 dollars, where x is the number of unitsproduced and sold. What level of production andsales will give a daily profit of more than $10,900?
Problem 6Cannes Croissants (not a real company) wishes to determine the optimum production quantity for its topselling product, almond croissants. The annual demandfor almond croissants is 12,000 units. The setup costs fora production run of the croissants is US$15. The holdingcost per unit per year is US$0.50. Production is mostefficient when 80 croissants are produced per day. Thecompany operates 300 days during a year.a What is the economic production quantity (EPQ)?b How many production runs will there by per year?c What is the maximum inventory level?d What is the total annual cost (in US dollars)?e What is the length of a production run in days?
Leonard Presby, Inc., has an annual demand rate of 1,000units but can produce at an average production rate of 2,000 units. Setup cost is $10; carrying cost is $1. What is the optimalnumber of units to be produced each time?
A company estimates that the relationship between. unit price and demand per month for a potential new product is approximated by p= $100.00-$0.10D. The company can produce the product by increasing fixed costs $17,500 per month, and the estimated variable cost is $40.00 per unit. What is the demand that maximizes revenue and the maximum revenue? What is the optimal demand, D*, and based on this demand, should the company produce the new product? Why? (Work out the complete solution by differential calculus, starting with the formula for profit or loss per month.)
When a thousand dollars are spent on labor and y thousand dollars on equipment, the output of a certain factory is Q units, where Q(x, y) = 240x³/85/8 Suppose $200, 000 is available for both labor and equipment. (a) How should the money be allocated between labor and equipment to generate the largest possible output? What is the largest pos- sible output? (b) Use the marginal productivity of money to estimate the change in the maximum output of the factory that will result if money available for labor and equipment is increased to $210, 000.
(a) A retail company has a marginal profit curve given by: MP =-2Q 2+ 160Q + 2145. Determine the level of production, or range of production at which the company will have: (i) Increasing returns (ii) Decreasing returns (iii) Negative returns (iv) Its maximum profit (b) A production process varies only with raw materials, as all other inputs are fixed. The cost of a shipment of 8kg of raw materials is fixed at $85. It takes 5kg of raw materials to create one item of output, Q. The marginal revenue for this production process is expressed by: MR = =Q 2 + 520 – 576. 2+52Q Determine the optimal amount of raw materials to be used in this production process. (c) A production process varies with both labour, L and raw materials, M. The production function is given: Q = 1.25L 0.38 +0.9M0.68 Current production level is Q= 800 items and marginal profit is given as a fixed $16.50. Determine what profit can be expected if: (i) Labour is increased by 25%. (ii) Both labour and raw materials are…

Assume you own a copper mine. The mine has total known reserves of 500 (million metric tons). The market demand for the copper is estimated to be: P = -1.75Q + 1000 and the marginal cost curve is estimated to be: P = 1.25Q + 100. What is the efficient quantity of copper to extract if you need only consider the current period in your decision making? Assume you need to consider allocation of the mine’s resources across two periods of time—the present and the future. Assume the “future” period is 10 years from the present and you use a discount rate 7.5%. What would be the efficient (inter-temporal) allocation of the mine’s resources in each period? What would be the price in each period if demand is constant across time?
Down the street from the dairy farm is a farmer with a pumpkin patch. Every season he produces pumpkins according to f(a,l) = 9a²/31!/3 where a is acreage and l is farm labor. He owns the land, but he does pay property tax T * a on his land. He can hire laborers at a wage rate of $12. He has already spent $200 on pumpkin seeds, and because of crop rotation, has exact acreage a he can use for pumpkins. What is the short run demand for labor?
6 A coal-fired power plant produces powerp with costs c(p) = . Each unit of power earns the plant $11. Burning coal releases particulate matter (PM2.5), a pollutant that is known to cause heart disease, lung disease, and birth defects. The coal plant borders a wildlife sanctuary which sells tourism visits t for a price $30. However, the sanctuary's animals are getting sick due to the negative externality of PM2.5, such that the costs to the sanctuary are c(t) = +². The local government decides to tax the coal plant to internalize its negative externality. What tax will restore the social optimum? (Round answers to 2 decimal places) Answer: Check
