A manufacturer produces either edible honeycomb or honey from the raw honeycomb harvested from the beehives. To produce edible honeycomb, raw honeycomb is fed to a cutter that produces 30 edible combs per raw comb, and the manufacturer wants to produce 1200 edible combs an hour. The raw honeycomb that is to be made into honey is put through an uncapping and filter machine that separates both the wax and the honey from the frame. The honey is then split, part going to storage and part going to a heater which warms the honey before packaging.
If each raw honeycomb has a 1 pound frame, holds 7
pounds of honey, and has an average weight of 10 pounds, how much
wax is produced (lbs/hr) when 300 raw honeycombs/hour is fed to the
system?
How much extra honey (lbs/hr) must be stored to keep production at
1500 lbs/hr for the warm honey?
If honey enters the heater at 25°C and leaves at 55°C, how much
energy does the heater use (kW)?
Given information: Cp of honey:
1.9 + 28.8×10^-4 T + 6.4×10^-5 T^2 + 6.9×10^-8 T^3
Units of specific heat are Celsius.

Cranberries can be harvested using either a "wet" method or a
"dry" method. Dry-harvested cranberries can be sold at a premium,
while wet-harvested cranberries are used mainly for cranberry juice
and bring in less revenue. Fresh Made Cranberry Cooperative must
decide how much of its cranberry crop should be harvested wet and
how much should be dry harvested. Fresh Made has 5,000 barrels of
cranberries that can be harvested using either the wet or dry
method. Dry cranberries are sold...

Altima Ltd, a manufacturer of edible oils, is contemplating the
purchase b. of a new oil processing machine to replace the existing
one. The existing machine was acquired two years ago at a cost of
Shs.4,000,000. The useful life of this machine was originally
expected to be five years with no salvage value, but after a
critical analysis, the financial analyst has now estimated that the
machine will have an economic life of 10 years with a salvage value

Amanda keeps bees to produce honey. Each hive produces $350
worth of honey each month. The table below shows Amanda’s marginal
cost of tending each bee hive and her private marginal benefit,
which is equal to the market value of the honey each hive
produces.

A beekeeper produces pots of honey and
they are sold at a price of $2 per pot (i.e. the marginal benefit
for honey is perfectly elastic). Of course, the production process
of honey requires bees. The beekeeper’s bees provide an external
benefit to a neighbouring orchardist. In fact, each additional pot
of honey produced provides a marginal externality of 50 cents.
For the following questions assume
that the private marginal cost is upward sloping.
Initially assume there is no bargaining...

Your firm will either
purchase or lease a new $500,000 packaging machine from the
manufacturer. If purchased, the machine will be depreciated
straight-line over five years. You can lease the machine using a
true tax lease for $125,000 per year for five years with the first
payment today. Assume the machine has no residual value, the
secured borrowing rate is 9%, and the tax rate is 35%. Should you
buy or lease?

Imagine a beekeeper, who produces honey and sells it at a
constant price per kilogram.
Draw a diagram with the quantity of honey on the horizontal
axis, showing the marginal cost of honey production as an
upward-sloping line, and the price of honey as a horizontal line.
Show the amount of honey that the profit-maximizing beekeeper will
produce.
For the beekeeper, the marginal private of producing a kilo of
honey is equal to the price. But since the bees benefit...
