Two products, qi and vh, emerge from a joint process. product qi has been allocated $34,300 of the total joint costs of $55,000. a total of 2,900 units of product qi are produced from the joint process. product qi can be sold at the split-off point for $11 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $10,900 and then sold for $13 per unit. if product qi is processed further and sold, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point?

Suppose life expectancy in years (l) is a function of two inputs, health expenditures (h) and nutrition expenditures (n) in hundreds of dollars per year. the production function is upper l equals ch superscript 0.40 baseline upper n superscript 0.60l=ch0.40n0.60. beginning with c = 1, a health input of $400400 per year (hequals=44) and a nutrition input of $400400 per year (nequals=44), show that the marginal product of health expenditures and the marginal product of nutrition expenditures are both decreasing. the marginal product of health expenditures when h goes from 44 to 55 is nothing, and the marginal product of health when h goes from 66 to 77 is nothing. (round your answers to three decimal places.)
