COBB DOUGLAS FUNCTION FOR SOLVING LINEAR PROGRAMMING TO ANALYZE OPTIMUM INCOME OF LOCAL MIGRANTS

-This study attempts to solve linear programming with Cobb Douglas functions to etermine the optimum level of farm productions, income of local migrants in South Sulawesi and formulate the optimum uses of resource in crop production. The level of resource usage and economic scale were analyzed by using Cobb Douglas functions. The usage of efficiency of crops production by ratio and optimization of crops was analyzed by linear programming. The estimation result of the resource usage showed a positive and very significant roles on production scale which is the decreasing return to scale. The optimum income increased into 29.20%; 15.38%; and 36.94% at local migrant in four units, respectively
