The economy of North Haverbrook is comprised of 30,026 working able inhabitants and hold a capital stock of 45,000. Through empirical work, it was discovered that the share of labour income (wage) was 10% of GDP (turns out they don't have schools), share of capital was 90% and that using a cobb-Douglas production function was able to properly approximate the production behaviour of this economy. And that tech (A) is 1.
Please help me check my answers from a-c, and answer questions d and e!!! Thanks.

Here we think about two people, Sally & Tamara, who are in a ridiculously simple place where only two goods exist, apples & Hot Dogs. Sally is indifferent between bundles A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Tamara is indifferent between bundles H, J, I, K, L, M, and N.
Sally:
Bundle | apples | hotdogs |
A | 0 | 29 |
B | 1 | 22 |
C | 2 | 16 |
D | 3 | 11 |
E | 4 | 7 |
F | 5 | 4 |
G | 6 | 2 |
Tamara
Bundle | Apples | Hot Dogs |
H | 3 | 40 |
J | 4 | 33 |
I | 5 | 27 |
K | 6 | 22 |
L | 7 | 18 |
M | 8 | 15 |
N | 9 | 13 |
What is the value of 4 apples to Sally? (1)
What is the marginal value of the 4th apple to Sally? (1)
What is the marginal value of the 4th apple to Tamara? (1)
Let us say, Sally has bundle E & Tamara has bundle H. Explain how trade can make each one of them better off (give all relevant details, such as who would trade what for what, what will each person ends up with as the result of their trade, and how you know that what they have after trade is better than what they have started with). (3)
What would be the equilibrium outcome of their trade (i.e., how many apples and how many hot dogs would each of them have in equilibrium)? Explain, with reference to maximization, how you know that that outcome is equilibrium. (3)

Suppose we have two firms with the following production technologies
f (x1,x2) = min{x1,2x2}
f (x1,x2) = x1 + 2x2
Suppose the firms face the same prices on inputs. Denote the input
prices by w1,w2. Further suppose the firms can sell their output for
the same price p.
(a)Find the demand function for the inputs for both firms
(b)Suppose w1 = 1,w2 = 2, and p = 10, what are the profits of the
firms
(c)Suppose the price of input 1 goes down to .5, analyze the effect
of the decrease in price on the demands and the profits of the
firms.
