The cost function of the apiary is CH(H, A) = An apiary is located next to an apple orchard. The apiary produces honey and the apple orchard produces apples. The cost function of the apiary is C<sub>H</sub>(H, A) = - 1A and the cost function of the apple orchard is C<sub>A</sub>(H, A) = , where H and A are the number of units of honey and apples produced respectively. The price of honey is $5 and the price of apples is $6 per unit. Let A<sub>1</sub> be the output of apples if the firms operate independently, and let A<sub>2</sub> be the output of apples if the firms are operated by a single owner so as to maximize total profit. A) A<sub>1</sub> = 300 and A<sub>2</sub> = 350. B) A<sub>1</sub> = A<sub>2</sub> = 300. C) A<sub>1</sub> = 175 and A<sub>2</sub> = 300. D) A<sub>1</sub> = 150 and A<sub>2</sub> = 300. E) A<sub>1</sub> = 250 and A<sub>2</sub> = 300. - 1A and the cost function of the apple orchard is CA(H, A) = An apiary is located next to an apple orchard.
