Question: The Hassman Company produces two joint outputs, X and Y. The isocost curve corresponding to a total of $500,000 is

Q Y = 1000 – 10Q X – 5Q X 2

where Q Y is the quantity of product Y produced by the firm and Q X is the quantity of X produced. The price of product X is 50 times that of product Y.

  1. If the optimum output combination lies on this isocost curve, what is the optimal output of product X?
  2. What is the optimal output of product Y?
  3. Can you be sure that the optimum output combination lies on this isocost curve? Why or why not?
