b. The Yorkshire Cricket Company makes cricket bats out of lumber supplied to it by Acme Sporting Goods, which pays Yorkshire £10 for each finished bat. Yorkshire's only factors of production are lathe operators and a small building with a lathe. The number of bats per day it produces depends on the number of employee-hours per day, as shown in the table below. Number of bats per day 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 Number of employee-hours per day 0 1 2 4 7 11 16 22 (i) If the wage is £15 per hour and Yorkshire's daily fixed cost for the lathe and building is £60, what is the profit-maximising quantity of bats? (ii) What would be the profit-maximising number of bats if the firm's fixed cost were not £60 per day but only £30? (iii) How would Yorkshire's profit-maximising level of output be affected if the government imposed a tax of £10 per day on the company? (Hint: This tax independent from the production level.) (iv) What would Yorkshire's profit-maximising level of output be if the government…
