A company produces two types of can openers: Model I and Model 2. Each require the use of three
machines: A, B and C. Model I requires 2 hours on machine A, 1 hour on machine B and 1 hour on machine
C. Model II requires 1 hour on machine A, 2 hours on machine B and 1 hour on machine C.The maximum
number of hours available for machine A, B and C are 180, 160 and 100 respectively. The profit on Model I is
$4 and Model Il is $6.

A village has five residents, each of whom has
an accumulated savings of $50. Each villager
can use the money to buy a government bond
that pays 10% interest per year or to buy a
year-old goat, send it onto the commons to
graze, and sell it after one year. The price of
the goat that the villager will get at the end of
the year depends on the amount of weight it
gains while grazing on the commons, which in
turn depends on the number of goats sent
onto the commons, as shown in table below.
Assume that if a villager is indifferent between
buying a bond and buying a goat, the villager
will buy a goat.

It uses a bag made of recycled plastic as the outer layer that holds the inner cardboard structure together. Puma expects to cut carbon dioxide emission by 10,000 tons per year and water, energy, and diesel use by 60% by using fewer materials -8,500 fewer tons of paper to be specific - and the new packaging's lighter weight.

- Part 1. Imagine you have a diesel-powered car, and you can buy either diesel or biodiesel fuel (which is possible in some parts of the US). The cost of biodiesel is $38/GJ, and the biodiesel causes 22 kg CO2 emissions per GJ over its lifetime. The diesel costs $30/GJ and causes 88 kg CO2 emissions per GJ over its lifetime (4 times more!!). Part 1: What is the cost of mitigation of choosing biodiesel? Part 2.

- 2. You are preparing to market this year's calf crop and want to decide if you would like to precondition your calves this year. If you decided to sell your calves at weaning, you would expect to market them at approximately 425 at price of $1.80 per pound. Alternatively, you have the option to precondition your calves for 45 days in a dry lot, castrate your bulls, and provide a round of vaccinations. You expect that the additional 45 days of feeding will get your calves up to a market weight of 550 pounds. Under normal circumstances, these calves would bring $1.65 per pound at the sale barn, but you also expect that you can charge a 6% preconditioning premium at the time of sale because you are marketing them directly. a. What is the final sale price for the 550 pound preconditioned calves? b. What is the value of gain for the preconditioned calves? c. If your cost of gain over the 45-day preconditioning period is $1.45 what would be your net profit on these calves?arrow_forwardDraw a diagram of the marginal abatement cost curve described by: MAC = 100 - 2E.
