Let S represent the amount of steel produced (in tons). Steel production is related to the amount of labor used (L) and the amount of capital used (C) by the following function: S=20L0.30C0.70. In this formula L represents the units of labor input and C the units of capital input. Each unit of labor costs 50, and each unit of capital costs 100. a. Formulate an optimization problem that will determine how much labor and capital are needed to produce 50,000 tons of steel at minimum cost. b. Solve the optimization problem you formulated in part (a). (Hint: When using Excel Solver, start with an initial L 0 and C 0.)
Suppose that the total cost function, in dollars, for the production of x units of a product is given by the equation shown below. C(x) = 4,500 + 30x + 0.2x² Then the average cost of producing x items is represented by the following equation. total cost 4,500 C(x) + 30 + 0.2x (a) Find the instantaneous rate of change of average cost with respect to the number of units produced, at any level of production. (b) Find the level of production at which this rate of change equals zero. X = (c) At the value found in part (b), find the instantaneous rate of change of cost and find the average cost. instantaneous rate of change of cost average cost What do you notice?
Suppose that the total cost of manufacturing x units of a metal straws is C(x) = 2x² + 6x + 12. Using the linear approximation p(x) of C(x) about x = 20, approximate the cost of manufacturing 21 units of metal straws. Compare this with the exact cost of manufacturing 21 units of metal straws. Using the same p(x) about x = 20, approximate the cost of manufacturing 22 units of metal straws and compare this with the exact cost. What do you observe about approximations p(21) and p(22) relative to C(21) and C(22), respectively?
Let S represent the amount of steel produced (in tons). Steel production is related to the amount of labor used (L) and the amount of capital used (C) by the following function: S = 20 L0.30 C 0.70 In this formula L represents the units of labor input and C the units of capital input. Each unit of labor costs $50, and each unit of capital costs $100. (a) Formulate an optimization problem that will determine how much labor and capital are needed in order to produce 50,000 tons of steel at minimum cost. If your answer is zero, enter “0”.
