Question: A price taker owns an initial endowment of factors of production represented by the vector b. He intends to produce a vector of commodity outputs x1 to be sold on the market and purchases a vector of commodity inputs x2 to augment the initial endowment of resources. The technology to produce the output vector is given by the matrix A1. The output price vector is c1 and the input price vector is c2. The price taker wishes to maximize profits. Set up the appropriate primal model and state its dual specification. Give an appropriate economic interpretation to each component of the dual problem.
