Essay

Below is the production function for a flour mill, where the input is grain (X = wheat), in bushels (bu) and the output is flour (Y = flour), in pounds (lb). PX = $5/bu, PY = $2/lb.
XY00110230360480590684\begin{array}{rr}\underline {X}&\underline {Y }\\0 & 0 \\1 & 10 \\2 & 30 \\3 & 60 \\4 & 80 \\5 & 90 \\6 & 84\end{array} A. What is the flour mill's objective as a business firm and in completing this chart? B. Explain how the flour mill would identify the profit-maximizing level of input, and state what that level is. C. If the wage rate (PX) increased, would the flour mill hire more or fewer workers? Explain why. D. If the price of plants (PY) increased, would the flour mill hire more or fewer workers? Explain why.
