Question 1

Multiple Choice

In Problem 2, suppose that the cost function of the honey farm is CH(H, A) = In Problem 2, suppose that the cost function of the honey farm is C<sub>H</sub>(H, A)  =   - 1A and the cost function of the apple orchard is C<sub>A</sub>(H, A)  =   , where H and A are the number of units of honey and apples produced respectively. The price of honey is $2 and the price of apples is $4 per unit. Let A<sub>1</sub> be the output of apples if the firms operate independently, and let A<sub>2</sub> be the output of apples if the firms are operated by a profit-maximizing single owner. A)  .A<sub>1</sub> = A<sub>2</sub> = 200. B)  A<sub>1</sub> = 100 and A<sub>2</sub> = 200. C)  A<sub>1</sub> = 125 and A<sub>2</sub> = 200. D)  A<sub>1</sub> = 200 and A<sub>2</sub> = 250. E)  A<sub>1</sub> = 100 and A<sub>2</sub> = 200 - 1A and the cost function of the apple orchard is CA(H, A) = In Problem 2, suppose that the cost function of the honey farm is C<sub>H</sub>(H, A)  =   - 1A and the cost function of the apple orchard is C<sub>A</sub>(H, A)  =   , where H and A are the number of units of honey and apples produced respectively. The price of honey is $2 and the price of apples is $4 per unit.

E)  A<sub>1</sub> = 100 and A<sub>2</sub> = 200 , where H and A are the number of units of honey and apples produced respectively. The price of honey is $2 and the price of apples is $4 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 profit-maximizing single owner.
