A firm estimates its production function as Q = -2.4 + 20*L -.5*L2 + 30*K -1.00*K2 + 15*F -.3*F2. Total cost is TC = $2*L + $2.5*K + $1.75*F. The firm wishes to produce 400 units of output. Use Excel to find the cost minimizing amounts of L, K and F. How much F (Fuel) should the firm use?

6. Zenande believes the production of a dress requires 10 labour hours and 5 machine hours to produce. If she decides to operate in the short run, she must spend R5000 to lease her business space. It has also been determined that a labour hour costs R500 and a machine hour costs R1000. Which of the following is Zenande's cost of production as a function of dresses produced? a) C(q) = 10000+ 5000q. C(q) = 5000+ 5000q. b) c) C(q) = 5000+ 10000q. C(q) = 5000+ 1500q. d)
If the Marginal Cost for a product is found to be MC= 8x+60 , and the Marginal Revenue is given as MR= 1200 and the cost of 8 units is found to be $1600, what are: the Total Costs? the Fixed Costs? the Total Profit? the production level, x, that yields Maximum Profit? the corresponding Maximum Profit?
Which cost concept is used to determine the most cost-efficient level of production? a) Average cost b) Total cost c) Marginal cost d) Variable cost
Suppose that you can sell as much of a product (in integer units) as you like at $74 per unit. Your marginal cost (MC) for producing the qth unit is given by: MC=8q This means that each unit costs more to produce than the previous one (e.g., the first unit costs 8*1, the second unit (by itself) costs 8*2, etc.). 1. If fixed costs are $450, what is the optimal integer output level? 2. If fixed costs are $450, what is the profit at the optimal integer output level? 3. If fixed costs are $525, what is the optimal integer output level? 4. If fixed costs are $525, what is the profit at the optimal integer output level?
