Problems and Exercises 1. The following combinations of x1 and x2 all produce 100 bushels of corn. Calculate the MRSx1,x2 and the MRSx2,x1 at each midpoint. Production with Two Inputs Combination Units of x1 Units of x2 MRSx1,x2 MRSx2,x1 A 10 1 B 5 2 C 3 3 D 2 4 E 1.5 5 2. For the production function y = 3x1 + 2x2 find a. The MPP of x1. b. The MPP of x2. c. The marginal rate of substitution of x1 for x2.

Marginal cost A division of Ditton Industries manufactures the Futura model microwave oven. The daily cost (in dollars) of producing these microwave ovens is $$ C(x)=0.0002 x^{3}-0.06 x^{2}+120 x+5000 $$ where $x$ stands for the number of units produced. a. What is the actual cost incurred in manufacturing the 101 st oven? The 201 st oven? The 301 st oven? b. What is the marginal cost when $x=100,200,$ and $300 ?$

Marginal Functions in Economics
In Exercises 1-4, for each cost function, find the marginal cost at the given production level $x$, and state the units of measurement. (All costs are in dollars.) HINT [See Example 1.] $C(x)=10,000+5 x-0.0001 x^{2} ; x=1,000$
