Formulate and solve an economic problem. Your examples don’t have to be perfectly realistic. For example, in real life there are always more than two goods or two time periods or two choices. But in your examples, there will just be two goods or two inputs or two oligopolists or two game players.

Use our existing theoretical tools – for example, Cobb Douglas, etc. (Your answer should be based around the idea of Demand)

Formulate but do not solve the problem. Michael Perez deposited a total of $2000 with two savings institutions. One pays interest at a rate of 6%/year, whereas the other pays interest at a rate of 8%/year. If Michael earned a total of $148 in interest during a single year, how much did he deposit in each institution? (Let x and y denote the amount of money, in dollars, invested at 6% and 8%, respectively.) = 148 = 2000

Formulate but do not solve the following exercise as a linear programming problem. Kane Manufacturing has a division that produces two models of fireplace grates, x units of model A and y units of model B. To produce each model A requires 2 lb of cast iron and 8 min of labor. To produce each model B grate requires 5 lb of cast iron and 5 min of labor. The profit for each model A grate is $2.50, and the...

Please formulate and solve each of the following problems. For each problem, you should include the final SOLVER printout (either your final spreadsheet or an answer report), as well as (1) clear and precise definitions for all decision variable; (2) your objective function indicating whether it is to be maximized and minimized; (3) all constraints, including non-negativity and integrality (if necessary); and (4) what the optimal decision is (in words) and what outcome will be produced. A manufacturer of stereos...

For the given transportation problem, formulate a linear program with objective function and constraints. Solve using the excel sleeve, provide the optimal transport cost. Imagine that we have three bakeries and three stores. the three stores require 23 dozen, 17 dozen, and 20 dozen loaves of bread, respectively, while the three bakeries can supply 18 dozen, 15 dozen, and 22 dozen loaves, respectively. The unit transportation costs are provided in the table below: Store 1 Store 2 Store 3 Bakery...
