Question

Suppose that you have 9 hours left to cram for final exams, and you want to get as high an average numerical grade as possible in three courses: Marketing, Accounting and Microeconomics. Your grade in each course depends on the time devoted to studying the subjects in the following manner. Marketing Hrs. of Study Grade Accounting Microeconomics Hrs. of Study Grade Hrs. of Study Grade 0 90 0 80 0 0 1 97 1 90 1 40 2 98 2 97 2 60 3 99 3 98 3 70 4 100 4 99 4 79 5 100 5 100 5 87 6 100 6 100 6 94 7 100 7 100 7 100 By considering the change in average grade as marginal utility (MU), and the change in hours of study as the price, how many hours should you devote to studying each subject?

by-studying-will-can-produce-a-higher-grade-g_w-on-an-upcoming-economics-exam-his-production-functio

By studying, Will can produce a higher grade, $G_{w},$ on an upcoming economics exam. His production function depends on the number of hours he studies marginal analysis problems, $A$, and the number of hours he studies supply-and-demand problems, R. Specifically, $G_{=}=2.5 A^{0.36} R^{0.64}$ His roommate David's grade-production function is $G_{D}=2.5 A^{0.25} R^{0.75}$ a. What is Will's marginal product of studying supply-and-demand problems? What is David's? (Hint: See Appendix $6 \mathrm{C}$.) b. What is Will's marginal rate of technical substitution between studying the two types of problems? What is David's? c. Is it possible that Will and David have differ. ent marginal productivity functions but the same marginal rate of technical substitution functions? Explain. (Hint: Sce the Section "Cobb-Douglas Production Function.") C

00:01 Hey guys, let's do problem 12.
00:03 In this problem, we need to find what is the marginal product of studying supply and demand problems for will and for david.
00:14 And the information such as the production function, great production function for both of them are given here.
00:21 So let's do the problem.
00:24 It is given that for wheel, the production function is 2 .5, 8 to the power 0 .36.
00:32 And r2 d .04 0 .64.
00:34 We know that marginal productivity of studying supply and demand problems, which is denoted as mpr, is the change in grid due to change in number of hours wheel studied supply and demand problems.
00:53 Therefore, the marginal productivity of wheel is going to be change in the production function with respect to our and when we do this differentiation here 2 .5 and a to the power 0 .36 is a constant so it will come out of the differentiation and we will differentiate r to the power 0 .64 with respect to r and when we do this we get 0 .64 multiplied by r to the power 0 .64 minus 1 and this calculation gives us 1 .6 a to the power 0 .36 r to the power negative 0 .36 or we can write 1 .6 a to the power 0 .36 divided by r to the power 0 .36 and in a simplest form it gives us 1 .6 in the bracket it by r to the power 0 .36 which is wills marginal productivity.
02:05 Similarly we can now find out what is david's marginal productivity.
02:10 The production function is given as 2 .5 a to the 1 .0 .25 or to the bar 0 .75 for david therefore his marginal productivity is this one 0 .25 a to the bar 0 .25 or to the bar 0 .75 we need to take the differentiation when we take that it will come out.
02:32 Because a and 0 .25 these are constants and this differentiation gives us 1 .87 a to the power 0 .25 or to the power negative 0 .25 or we can write this as david's marginal productivity...
