1. Firm A produces video contents using digital editing equipment (K) and employed editors (L), where Q in the number of videos. The wage for editor is $25, and the rental rate on equipment is $50. The firm wants to produce 3, 000 videos at the lowest possible cost. Suppose the production function of this firm is below- Q = 30 K^0.6 L^0.4 a. Solve cost minimization problem. b. What is the total cost associated with the output a firm wants to produce? c. Illustrate the result from part (a) and (b). You should draw isoquant line and isocost line. Isoquant line has a shape of the curve convex toward origin.

Will the long-run customer relationship and sales gains from the promotion justify its costs?
XYZ company can manufacture their own products and sells them. They are able to control the demand by changing the price that is determined by the equation below. The company is thinking of maximizing their profit. The fixed cost is $1,000 per month and the variable cost is $40 per unit. Find the number of units that must be manufactured and sold monthly to maximize profit. (Demand D in the equation is monthly) Hint: Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost 2,700 5,000 p = $38 + D for D > 1 D2 1 Add file

At what quantity of bags will profits be maximized? A Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 300 bags. B Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 200 bags. C Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 300. D Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 200.
(a) A manufacturer has a fixed cost of $2200 and a production cost of $ 60 for each unit produced. The price-demand function was determined to be p(x)=800-2x. (i) Derive the cost function, C(x). (i) Find the revenue function, R(x).

The 1,850 residents of Great Donut Island are all fishermen. Every morning they go to the nearest port to launch their fishing boats and then return in the evening with their catch. The residents are evenly distributed along the 20-mile perimeter of the island. Each port has a fixed cost of $1,850/day. If the optimal number of ports is 7, what must be the per mile travel cost? Instructions: Round your answer to the nearest penny (2 decimal places).
Process mapping is a tool that reduces processes to their component parts or activities and helps identify and then eliminate non-value-added activities, (waste) or delays within a process. Process mapping is valuable in purchasing, especially when attempting to streamline the flow of material or information between suppliers and a purchaser.
