question 3

Multiple Choice

In Problem 2, suppose that the cost function of the honey farm is C_H(H, A) = - 1A and the cost function of the apple orchard is C_A(H, A) = , where H and A are the number of units of honey and apples produced respectively. The price of honey is $2 and the price of apples is $4 per unit. Let A₁ be the output of apples if the firms operate independently, and let A₂ be the output of apples if the firms are operated by a profit-maximizing single owner.

• A) .A₁ = A₂ = 200.
• B) A₁ = 100 and A₂ = 200.
• C) A₁ = 125 and A₂ = 200.
• D) A₁ = 200 and A₂ = 250.
• E) A₁ = 100 and A₂ = 200
