Exercise 24

A multiproduct firm's cost function was recently estimated as

a. Are there economies of scope in producing 10 units of product 1 and 10 units of product 2?
b. Are there cost complementarities in producing products 1 and 2?
c. Suppose the division selling product 2 is floundering and another company has made an offer to buy the exclusive rights to produce product 2. How would the sale of the rights to produce product 2 change the firm's marginal cost of producing product 1?
