Question:

1. Suppose a product can be produced using virgin ore at a marginal cost given by MC1

= 0.5q1 and with recycled materials at a marginal cost given by MC2 = 5 + 0.1q2.

(a) If the inverse demand curve were given by p = 10 - 0.5(q1 + q2), how many units of the product would be produced with virgin ore and how many units with recycled materials?

(b) If the inverse demand curve were p = 20 - 0.5(q1 + q2), what would your answer be?
