The production function for good y is y = max{10x1,4x2}, where x1 and x2 are the amounts of factors 1 and 2. Find the cost function for good y.
Rocco’s Pasta Bar makes manicotti according to an old family recipe which states M = min{5/4C, 5P}, where M, C, and P are pounds of manicotti, cheese, and pasta respectively. If cheese costs $3 per pound and pasta costs $4 per pound, how much would it cost to produce 20 pounds of manicotti in the cheapest way possible?
