1.1. What is the set of profit-maximizing inputs if the profit function of a firm is given by: π(X, Y) = P ln[X + aY] – wX – wY where P - price of output f(X,Y) = ln[X + 0.5Y] - production function X - input 1, X>=0 Y - input 2, Y>=0 w - same price of input for inputs 1 and 2 a - parameter between 0 and 1 1.2 What is the set of profit-maximizing inputs if...

1. [Multi-product Firm’s Profit Maximization] Find (i) the profit maximizing output levels x and y and (ii) the maximum profit for a firm producing two goods x and y with the profit function π(x, y) = 86x−2x2 −2xy−4y2 +120y−200.

A competitive firm uses a single input x to produce its output y. The firm’s production function is given by y = x3/2 for quantities of x between 0 and 4. For quantities of a greater than 4, the firm’s output is y = 4 + x. If the price of the output y is $1 and the price of the input x is $3, how much x should the firm use to maximize its profit? answer is 0.
