Using the implicit function theorem to maximize profit.
Assume that firm A produces good G using only labor. Therefore, the firm's output is a function of the quantity of labor hired (i.e. output = q(L)). Assume further that this firm receives a price (p) for good G and pays laborers a wage (w) that are both constant, and that the firm pays a constant health care cost (h) for eac ...continues
How much time should be spent studying for each class? That is, maximize GPA by determining E* and U* subject to the 12 hour study time constraint. b. Did this allocation of study time maximize or minimize your GPA?
Use the Implicit Function Theorem to derive an equation for the slope of the isoquant associated with this production function.
a. Find the equilibrium levels of output for goods 1 and 2. b. Show whether these levels of output maximize profits. c. Use comparative statics to show whether this monopolist's equilibrium profits will rise or fall if the monopolist makes these goods more similar (i.e. more homogeneous).
Internal economies of scale and the six-tenths rule
The six-tenths rule quantifies the relationship between the relevant costs of a firm's decision to expand and the increased internal economies that result from that expansion. 1. A small printing firm has technological costs of £48000 per annum, which give it a processing capability of 200 documents per week. The total ...continues

This is a matrices problem and in particular using Cramer's Rule to solve a National Income Model.
Write the following National Income Model in the form Ax = b and solve using Cramer's Rule: C=α+βY I=γ+θr Y=C+I Where income(Y), consumption(C) and investment(I) are endogenous; the rate of interest(r) is exogenous and α, β, γ and θ are known constants. Also find the slope of t ...continues

At what price is this market in equilibrium?
Market Equilibrium (example question) The following relationships describe monthly demand and supply conditions in the metropolitan area for recyclable aluminum: QD = 317,500 – 10,000P (Demand) QS = 2,500 + 7,500P (Supply) Where Q is quantity measured in pounds of aluminum scrap metal, and P is the price in cents ...continues
