Swifty Corporation is planning to sell 1300 boxes of ceramic tile, with production estimated at 870 boxes during May. Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay mix and a 0.25 hour of direct labor. Clay mix costs $0.40 per pound and employees of the company are paid $15 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Swifty has 4500 pounds of clay mix in beginning inventory and wants to have 5400 pounds in ending inventory. What is the total amount to be budgeted in pounds for direct materials to be purchased for the month

Suppose life expectancy in years (l) is a function of two inputs, health expenditures (h) and nutrition expenditures (n) in hundreds of dollars per year. the production function is upper l equals ch superscript 0.40 baseline upper n superscript 0.60l=ch0.40n0.60. beginning with c = 1, a health input of $400400 per year (hequals=44) and a nutrition input of $400400 per year (nequals=44), show that the marginal product of health expenditures and the marginal product of nutrition expenditures are both decreasing. the marginal product of health expenditures when h goes from 44 to 55 is nothing, and the marginal product of health when h goes from 66 to 77 is nothing. (round your answers to three decimal places.)
