programming problem is one that seeks to maximize an objective function subject to constraints. If both the objective function and the constraints are linear‚ the problem is referred to as a linear programming problem. 2. Linear functions are functions in which each variable appears in a separate term raised to the first power and is multiplied by a constant (which could be 0). 3. Linear constraints are linear functions that are restricted to be "less than or equal

Objective function of firm: y-w-β+κ‚ for which β=ũy‚κ=dka Production Function: y=ka The objective function of firm has been added two functions based on the basic model‚ -β and +κ‚ showing the cost and the benefit of non monetary rewards respectively. They are allocated in the firm’s objective function‚ because the firm is the sender of the rewards‚ which the firm will have a cost and benefit of the reward from the worker. β is a negative function‚ since it is the cost of non monetary rewards

where Q = L2/3K1/3. The cost of resources used is C=wL+rK‚ where w is the wage rate and r is the rental rate for capital. Problem: Find the combination of L and K that maximizes output subject to the constraint that the cost of resources used is C; i.e.‚ maximize Q with respect to L and K subject to the constraint that vL+rK=C. Note that maximizing a monotonically increasing function of a variable is equivalent to maximizing the variable itself. Therefore ln(Q)=(2/3)ln(L)+(1/3)ln(K)‚ a more convenient
