A farmer owns 50 bee hives. The farmer is able to produce 2,000 pounds of honey when he hires 2 workers. He is able to produce 4,000 pounds of honey when he hires 3 workers. Which of the following possibilities is consistent with the property of diminishing marginal product?A. The farmer is able to produce 5,800 pounds of honey when he hires 4 workers.
B. The farmer is able to produce 5,600 pounds of honey when he hires 4 workers.
C. The farmer is able to produce 6,000 pounds of honey when he hires 4 workers.
D. Any amount over 6,000 pounds would be consistent with diminishing marginal product.
E. None of the above is correct

Dakota products has a production budget as follows: may, 16,000 units; june, 19,000 units; and july, 24,000 units. each unit requires 3 pounds of raw material and 2 direct labor hours. dakota desires to keep an inventory of 10% of the next month’s requirements on hand. on may, 1 there were 4,800 pounds of raw material in inventory. direct labor hours required in may would be:

The textbook defines ethics as “the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group,” and specifically as the standards one uses to decide what their conduct should be. to what extent do you believe that what happened at bp (british petrolium) is as much a breakdown in the company’s ethical systems as it is in its safety systems, and how would you defend your conclusion?

David consumes two things: gasoline (g) and bread (b). david's utility function is u(g, b) = 10g^0.25 b^0.75. use the lagrange technique to solve for david's optimal choices of gasoline and bread as a function of the price of gasoline, p_g, the price of bread, p_b, and his income m. with recent decrease in the price of gasoline (maybe due to external shock such as shale gas production) does david increase his consumption of gasoline? for david, how does partial differential g/partial differential p_g depend on his income m? that is, how does david's change in gasoline consumption due to an increase in the price of gasoline depend on his income level? to answer these questions, find the cross-partial derivative, |partial differential^2 g/partial differential m partial differential p_g.
