The total cost function of a firm that produces its product on two assembly lines is given as:
subject to the constraint:
TC= 3X2+6y2- XY
X+Y = 20
The problem facing the firm is to determine the least-cost combination of output on assembly lines X and Y subject to the side condition that total output equal 20 units.
(A)Use the Lagrangian multiplier method to determine X and Y that lead to the minimization of TC.
(B) Verify that the values of X and Y minimize the TC, then Find the TC given the values of X and Y.
(C)Interpret the value of the Lagrangian multiplier.
