A firm that produces potato chips occupies four hectares of land. The firm produces 10 tons of output per day and sells its output at a price of $240 per ton on the export market. The firm does not engage in factor substitution as the price of land changes. Intra-urban transportation is on trucks, with a unit cost of $12 per ton per mile. The firm’s non-land cost is $560 per day. The firm exports its output via circumferential highway (i. e., beltway around the city). That is, it wants to be near the beltway.
