An apiary is located next to an apple orchard. The apiary produces honey and the apple orchard produces apples. The cost function of the apiary is CH(H, A) = H2/300 - 3A and the cost function of the apple orchard is CA(A) = A2/100 where H and A are the numbers of units of honey and apples produced respectively. The price of honey is $2 and the price of apples is $3 per unit. Let A1 be the output of apples if the firms operate independently, and let A2 be the output of apples if the firms are operated by a single owner so as to maximize total profit.
A. A1 = 100 and A2 = 350.
B. A1 = 175 and A2 = 350.
C. A1 = A2 = 350.
D. A1 = 350 and A2 = 500.
E. A1 = 250 and A2 = 350.

M. cotteleer electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. one of the components has an annual demand of 235 units, and this is constant throughout the year. carrying cost is estimated to be $1.25 per unit per year, and the ordering (setup) cost is $21 per order. a) to minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed? b) how many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy? c) what is the average inventory if costs are minimized? d) suppose that the ordering cost is not $21, and cotteleer has been ordering 125 units each time an order is placed. for this order policy (of q = 125) to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.
