Zena Technology sells arc computer printers for $54 per unit. Unit product costs are:
Direct materials $15
Direct labor 19
Manufacturing overhead 6
Total $40
A special order to purchase 11,000 arc printers has recently been received from another company and Zena has the idle capacity to fill the order. Zena will incur an additional $3 per printer for additional labor costs due to a slight modification the buyer wants to be made to the original product. One-third of the manufacturing overhead costs are fixed and will be incurred no matter how many units are produced. When negotiating the price, what is the minimum selling price that Zena should accept for this special order?

David consumes two things: gasoline (g) and bread (b). david's utility function is u(g, b) = 10g^0.25 b^0.75. use the lagrange technique to solve for david's optimal choices of gasoline and bread as a function of the price of gasoline, p_g, the price of bread, p_b, and his income m. with recent decrease in the price of gasoline (maybe due to external shock such as shale gas production) does david increase his consumption of gasoline? for david, how does partial differential g/partial differential p_g depend on his income m? that is, how does david's change in gasoline consumption due to an increase in the price of gasoline depend on his income level? to answer these questions, find the cross-partial derivative, |partial differential^2 g/partial differential m partial differential p_g.
