Sol :
1. Option (b) is correct (200 , 400)
As , it is calculated as follows :
Plant 1 : y1 = 100 - 0.5x1
Plant 2 : y2 = 400 - 0.1x22
In case of plant 1 , only x1 is produced so
0.5 x1 = 100
X1 = 100/0.5
X1 = 200
In case of plant 2 , only y1 is produce so
Y2 = 400
(note : as per the policy we have to solve only one question. So , for remaining question , please post in teh separate post. )

1. Countries A and B both can produce two goods, X and Y. If country A produces only good X, it can produce 30 units of X; if country A produces only good Y, it can produce 10 units of Y. If country B produces only good X, it can produce 40 units of X; if country B produces only good Y, it can produce 40 units of Y. Assume that both countries have homogenous resources so that the opportunity...

Consider a customer (i) with a utility function u(x, y) = 200x − 25x2 + y where the price of good x is $p, and the price of the composite good y is one dollar ($1). Also, assume that each consumer has an income I. (MUx=200-50x , and MUy=1) Derive the consumer's demand function for good x. Now, consider an economy with 100 exact same type of consumers. Calculate an aggregate demand for only good x. Now, consider a firm...
