Attempt all questions. Q1. a) A local Pepsi company has total costs of production given by the equation TC-500+10q+Sq2. This implies that the firm's marginal cost is given by the equation MC 10+10q. The market demand for cold drink is given by the equation QD-105 (1/2)*P. Write the equations showing the company's average total cost and average variable cost and average fixed cost, each as a function of q. Show the firm's MC, ATC and AVC on one graph. What is the breakeven price and breakeven quantity for this firm in the short run? What is the shutdown price and shutdown quantity for this firm in the short run? If the market price of the output is $50, how many units will this firm produce? iv) Assuming the cold drink industry is perfectly competitive, what output would be produced by the firm in long-run equilibrium? What would be the long-run equilibrium price? i) ii)

Next, plot its average variable cost (AVC) curve using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot its marginal cost (MC) curve using the orange points (square symbol). (Hint: For ATC and AVC, plot the points on the integer; for example, the ATC of producing one pair of boots is $210, so you should start your ATC curve by…
5. An entrepreneur has costs for storing and shipping materials for his manufacturing process given by the function C (k) = 100 (100 + 9k + 144 / k) when 1 ≤ k ≤ 100, where C (k) is the cost total storage and transportation for 100 days of operation. If a load of k tons of material moves every k days, for what values of k does C (k) have a minimum value?
5. Rusty Trawler imports oil from Saudi Arabia. His cost function (for purchasing and delivering the oil) is TC = 5000+.1Q² where Q is the number of barrels of oil delivered. He may sell all the oil he can deliver for $60 per barrel (so TR = 60Q). Given these conditions, what are Rusty's maximum possible profits? a) $0 b) $300 c) $2,500 d) $4,000
