4. Costs in the short run versus in the long run Ike's Bikes is a major manufacturer of bicycles. Currently, the company produces bikes using only one factory. However, it is considering expanding production to two or even three factories. The following table shows the company's short-run average total cost each month for various levels of production if it uses one, two, or three factories. (Note: Q equals the total quantity of bikes produced by all factories.) Number of Factories Q= = 100 1 2 3 180 250 320 Q = 200 120 160 200 Average Total Cost (Dollars per bike) Q = 300 Q = 400 80 120 80 80 120 80 Q = 500 200 160 120 Q: = 600 320 250 180 Suppose Ike's Bikes is currently producing 100 bikes per month in its only factory. Its short-run average total cost is $ per bike. Suppose Ike's Bikes is expecting to produce 100 bikes per month for several years. In this case, in the long run, it would choose to produce bikes using
3. XYZ corporation produces widgets. Its short-run marginal cost curve is given by MC (q) = 10 – 5q + q² (this is a parabola whose minimum occurs at q = 2.5). XYZ's fixed costs are 10. In a two panel diagrams, graph the following cost curves: (a) total cost, (b) total variable cost, (c) total fixed cost, (d) marginal cost, (e) average variable cost, and (f) average total cost. Your diagrams do not need to be scale, but must be internally consistent (i.e. the relationships between different curves must be correct). You do not need to find mathematical expressions for the other cost curves – you only need to sketch lines that are consistent with the shape of the marginal cost curve.

Think about the following potential changes in your costs. For each, try to discern which would affect your fixed costs from those that are variable costs. Specifically, how would each scenario shift your Average Variable Cost, Marginal Cost, and Average Total Cost curves? Explain your answers. The wages of hourly workers increase The cost of cheese increases The rent on the building housing your restaurant increases The price of gasoline (for pizza delivery) decreases
