The owner of Chips etc. produces two kinds of chips: lime (L) and vinegar (V). He has a limited amount of the three ingredients

used to produce these chips available for his next production run: 4800 ounces of salt, 9600 ounces of flour, and 2000 ounces of herbs. A bag of lime chips requires 2 ounces of salt, 6 ounces of flour, and 1 ounce of herbs to produce; while a bag of vinegar chips requires 3 ounces of salt, 8 ounces of flour, and 2 ounces of herbs. Profits for a bag of lime chips are $0.40, and for a bag of vinegar chips $0.50. What is the formulation for this problem? Suppose that L and V are the decision variables respectively of Lime and Vinegar.

Answer:

Objective function (maximize)

Profit=0.40L+0.50V

Constraints

- Availabitily of salt: 2L+3V\leq4800

- Availability of herbs: 1C+2V\leq 2000

- Availability of flour: 6C+8V\leq9600

Explanation:

This a linear programming problem. We have an objective function (in this case it is the profit) that we want to optimize, but complying with constraints (in this case, the availability of ingredients).

The objective function can be defined taking into account the profits of the two kind of chips:

Profit=0.40L+0.50V

The constraints can be expressed taking into account the amount of ingredients every unit of chip needs and stating that it has to be less or equal to the availability of this ingredient:

- Availabitily of salt:

2L+3V\leq4800

- Availability of herbs

1C+2V\leq 2000

- Availability of flour

6C+8V\leq9600

With these expressions the linear programming problem can be solved.

For a particular good, a 12 percent increase in price causes a 3 percent decrease in quantity demanded. Which of the following s
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

b.The good is a necessity

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

3% / 12% = 0.25

When the coefficient of elasticity is less than one, demand is inelastic.

Inelastic demand means that when price increases, there is little or no change in quantity demanded.

Necessity goods are goods that are very important to consumers and thus they tend to have an inelastic demand. For example, medications.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good because of their similarity. E.g. butter and margarine

Goods with many substitutes have an elastic demand. If price of a good increases, consumers can easily shift consumption to substitute goods.

Narrowly defined goods have an elastic demand because it is easier to find subsituites for such goods.

Demand is more elastic in the long run because consumers have more time to search for substitutes.

Suppose there are only two producers of aircraft in the world, AirCraft in the United States and AirEurope in the European Union
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

1. AirEurope should produce if it wants to maximize its profit.

2.  False

Explanation:

New payoffs after subsidy:

Aircraft/ AirEurope               Produce     Not Produce

Produce                                 -3 , <u>6</u>              75 , 0

Not Produce                          0 , 74              0 , 0

With a $9 million subsidy, regardless of whether Aircraft produces or not, AirEurope should<u> produce</u> if it wants to maximize its profit.

The statement is false (Aircraft would earn a negative payoff if it enters).
