For the following total profit function of a firm, where X and Y are two goods sold by the firm:
Profit = 170X – 5X2 –XY -4Y2 +175Y -225
Do problem with a constraint of X + Y =30.
- To work problem 5 use the constraint equation to find an equation for X in terms of Y (X = 30 – Y) or an equation for Y in terms of X.
- Substitute the equation into the total profit equation at every place you find X (or Y)
- Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for X (or Y)
- Plug the result from part c into the constraint equation to get the other variable.
- Calculate the total profit.

Consider two freely available goods, X and Y. (i) For any given consumer of X and Y, what will his/her indifference curves look like? Clearly show the direction of preference. (ii) Suppose now, that good X becomes costly and is priced (by regulation) at PX = 170 per unit. A firm that wishes to sell commodity X in the market faces a total cost of TC = 100 + 10X + 16X2, which indicates that his marginal cost function is...
