A farmer plans to plant two crops, A and B. The cost of cultivating Crop A is $40/acre whereas the cost of cultivating Crop B is

$60/acre. The farmer has a maximum of $7400 available for land cultivation. Each acre of Crop A requires 20 labor-hours, and each acre of Crop B requires 25 labor-hours. The farmer has a maximum of 3300 labor-hours available. If she expects to make a profit of $170/acre on Crop A and $210/acre on Crop B, how many acres of each crop, x and y, respectively, should she plant in order to maximize her profit?

Answer:

We will plant 165 of Crop A

Explanation:

We will compare the marginal contribution for each crop:  A   B

Profit:                170.00     210

cost of cultivating:  40.00       60

CM per constrain      4.25            3.50

Crop A is better regarding cultivating cost.

Now we analize the labor hours:

Profit:                      170     210

Labor hours per crop 20       25

CM per constrain      8.50       8.40

Because Crop A is better at both constrain resource It will be better to plant only Crop A if possible. As assigning to Crop B will diminish the return on the scarce resourse.

We will see how much can we plant of Crop A

7400 / 40 = 185

3300 / 20 = 165

We will plant 165 of Crop A

which is the maximun we can plant at the given labor hours.

Overhead cost (which is ongoing) refers to what it takes to run the business or product the product. 
A period cost refers to a cost that is linked over time for a transaction, not constant.

A retail store has two options for discounting items to go on clearance.
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Difference = 1.75 , Function = mod [ 0.15x - 5 ]

Explanation:

Discount case 1 = $5 {Each week} , Discount case 2 = 15% {Each week}

After 1st week , for item cost = 45

  • Discount in case 1 = $5 , & price = 45 - 5 = 40  
  • Discount in case 2 = 15% of 45 = 6.75 , & price = 38.25

Difference in price = 40 - 38.25 = 1.75  .It is same is difference in discount = 6.75 - 5 , ie = 1.75

Functional rule in price difference , for item with unknown price 'x' =          mod [ (x - 5) - (x - 0.15x) ] = mod [ x - 5 - x + 0.15x ] =  mod [ 0.15x - 5 ] , which is same as difference between discount '0.15x & 5'
