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.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

In the telecom industry, the threat of new entrants is most likely low. Why? - Because:

1. High brand loyalty meaning that the existing customers are unlikely to switch to any competitors be it existing or potential. This will discourage any new entrant.

2. High economies of scale. They are enjoying low cost of inputs with high outputs. New entrants will find it difficult initially to produce at low cost. This will also discourage new entrants.

Also, the presence of strong network effects and proprietary technology among the existing firms will deter new entrants.
