Five people have just won a $100 prize, and are deciding how to divide the $100 up between them. Assume that whole dollars are used, not cents. Also, for example, giving $50 to first person and $10 to the second is different from vice versa. (a) How many ways are there to divide up the $100, such that each gets at least $10? // why is it (54 choose 4) and not (50 choose 4)? (b) Assume that the $100...

Multiplicative Principle (in terms of sets): If X and Y are finite sets, then |X ×Y| = |X||Y|. D) You are going to give a careful proof of the multiplicative principle, as broken up into two steps: (i) Find a bijection φ : <mn> → <m> × <n> for any pair of natural numbers m and n. Note that you must describe explicitly a function and show it is a bijection. (ii) Give a careful proof of the multiplicative principle...

Consider two products. X and Y, that have identical cost, retail price, and demand parameters and the same short selling season (the summer months from May through August). The newsvendor model is used to manage inventory for both products. Product X is to be discontinued at the end of the season this year and the leftover inventory will be salvaged at 75 percent of the cost. Product Y will be reoffered next summer, so any leftovers this year can be...

Suppose that you have a production function Y(L)=540L-L^3. Assume that the production of this good occurs in a perfectly competitive market and can receive a price of $2/unit. Additionally, assume that the cost of labor is a function of labor and is C(L)=9L^2 + 48. Given this information, what is this firm’s total revenue, total cost and total profit functions? What would be the optimal number of people (L) for this producer to hire given this information? If the project...

1. Suppose the equation p(x,y)=-2x^2+80x-3y^2+90+100 models profit when x represents the number of handmade chairs and y is the number of handmade rockers produced per week. (1) How many chairs and how many rockers will give the maximum profit when there is not constraint? (2) Due to an insufficient labor force they can only make a total of 20 chairs and rockers per week (x + y = 20). So how many chairs and how many rockers will give the...
