Chrissy spends her income on fishing lures (L) and guitar picks (G). Lures are priced at $2, while a package of guitar picks cost $1. Assume that Chrissy has $30 to spend and her utility function can be represeted as U(L, G) = L^{0.5} G^{0.5} . For this utility function, MUL = 0.5L^{-0.5} G^{0.5} and MUG = 0.5L^{0.5 } G^{-0.5} .

What is the optimal number of lures and guitar picks for Chrissy to purchase?

How much utility does this combination bring her?

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?
