We have added the possibility of paying for hired labour in lesson 10. The new model is called primal2. Run the model which you wrote or that you can download here primal2.zip\u00a0<\/em><\/a>or from the Model library. Change the value of the hired labour price to 10\u20ac, then 20\u20ac, and finally 30\u20ac. Observe the results and answer the following questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider the following problem statement\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0A given farm can grow two types of crop : wheat and maize. The area to be cultivated must be determined for each crop, knowing that :
\nThe objective of the farmer is to maximize his income.
\nWheat yields 450\u20ac per hectare, maize 1000\u20ac.
\nWheat requires 25 hours of labour per hectare and per year, and maize 50 hours.
\nThe farm area is 50 ha and the farmer can work 2000 hours a year.<\/em><\/p>\n

But he can hire hourly workers.<\/em> <\/strong>\u00bb<\/p>\n

Observe the results and answer the questions.
