Cogswell Cogs Can Jointly Produce Cogs or Rotors

question 110

Essay

Cogswell Cogs can jointly produce cogs or rotors. The joint cost function is:
C_C ( q₁, q₂) = 35 q₁ + 12 q₂ + 100 q₁^1/3 q₂^1/2, where q₁ is the number of cogs and q₂ is the number of rotors Cogswell produces. If Cogswell produces cogs alone, the cost function is:
C_C ( q₁) = 35 q₁ . If Cogswell produces rotors alone, the cost function is: C_R ( q₂) = 12 q₂. Calculate Cogswell's degree of economies of scope if he produces 64 cogs and 16 rotors.
